Are you referring to the Cake core? I don't think that would be a very good idea at all. You'd be facing potentially major breakage. That's not a swipe at Cake, but you have to understand that some changes will possibly require updates to your own code. And, hey, bugs happen. Better to test *extensively* before rolling out a new core to production. I'd never let one of my clients (that I want to keep) take care of that themselves.
