The great thing about Houdini is that they put out daily new builds and publish an issues log daily too so you can see if something has been added or a particular bug has been squished. Armed with that knowledge you're always in control of whether it's better to stick with your production build on install a more recent daily build. It's a tried and tested system that works well. Another good thing with Houdini is that each install is isolated so if you have to roll back to an earlier build it's a simple process and there's no risk that a newer build breaks modules in previously installed builds.
A final good aspect of the SideFx approach to support is that they will often fix troublesome bugs with days or even hours if it's a significant problem on a production. This level of support is obviously at its most responsive for larger studio customers but they're very responsive and unbureaucratic with all sizes of client.
