Total agreement. Updating the running system is dangerous. I did so once by mistake (luckily it was my sandbox). I suffered an outage because an update to a LINKLIB module required a corresponding update to an LPALIB module. When somebody did an LLA REFRESH, the system died. I don't know if this can happen with UNIX, but at the least, if the SMP/E job fails, there could be incompatible files in the filesystem.
