I agree with the approach. And I'm one of those users who always has both an older version and a new version available, just in case. But for example, my brother, who knows nothing about how any of this works, stays on old version *until* I change it for him (and I only visit him at most twice a year in a different State). So he's never on the cutting edge. I think LMS has both kinds of users and lots in between.
