While there are some vendors that I might be inclined to wait for an update from before tackling a major release, this is not some universally true rule -- at least not for me. I'm not suggesting that major software needs to be downloaded and installed before the "wet paint" sign is taken down, but if you have a lab environment and proper test procedures, and the vendor's recent history does not lend itself to waiting six months before implementation, then there is no reason not to pursue a test or pilot deployment as soon as you are able.
