Daniel Halperin commented on BEAM-1795:
---------------------------------------

It's a question of:

- upgrade fast & get perf improvements / new bug fixes for free vs
- upgrade slow & potentially complicate users' lives by introducing some change 
that breaks them

My intuition is to upgrade dependencies more slowly unless I need something (a 
known bugfix or new feature). I certainly would rather not be a beta tester for 
other projects ;). It also depends on the dependency -- core Java libs and 
Maven plugins are much less likely to introduce backwards-incompatible changes 
than some other libs.

I also suspect there is some aspect of language-dependence to this. Python has 
fewer tools to integrate incompatible binaries (e.g., no shading AFAIK) -- so 
it may make sense to upgrade faster assuming that's the standard Python 
community behavior.
