These two items contradict each other.  If you want a secure system, you should 
only upgrade (a) if vulnerabilities come out that require it; or (b) there are 
new features that you absolutely must have. And you also might want to think 
about why static libraries are (at least theoretically) more secure than shared 
libraries.
