In general the stance is supposed to be that if it doesn't have a news item, it shouldn't be a high-impact change. Now, I realize that broke down a bit recently and there is always a diversity of opinions on what does and doesn't need news. However, in general I wouldn't be too paranoid about things breaking/etc. That said, I generally don't update system packages on a day when I'm not going to have time to deal with any issues, and that is good practice. For something of particular concern I might just wait a day or two and see if there is any list or forum traffic. Rich
