I like working a bit backwards I suppose when it comes to compatibility reports/extensions. If something continues to work because the extension is installed and I don't have to either do without or go looking for a beta I'm happy, if something fails to work after an upgrade with the compatibility checker disabled I then go to try and find either an upgrade and or beta to resolve the issue. Matter of preference I guess or perhaps general use opposed to business use where compatibility is too risky to chance.
