I am just wondering *why* would you upgrade at 8h30 at the deployment day 
after running all your test suite and doing integration tests and 
functionality checks with the older version.

Documented or not, you still have to test (the several kinds of tests) your 
application.  Develop against a moving target isn't easy.

Also, if you need some specific fix, you can grab it from TG's repository: 
this is one of the best things about open source.

Anyway, I will really like when we have more docs -- I worked with software 
documentation for years... -- even if they aren't stable.  I'm a great fan of 
docstrings, comments, etc.  Nothing prevented people from documenting the 
code while they coded and, unfortunately, this is not a common practice in 
any programming language that I know :-(
