Since I have a great backup scheme I'm never shy about being an upgrade
fanatic. I have most of Unsanity's haxies. I've never had any serious issues
and only a very few minor ones, all fixed within days of the major OS update
that caused them. IOW, I wouldn't worry. I never saww any of the MM issues
mentioned.

that term) you're playing with fire.
