I've been burned in the past by updating without backing up first, and I preferred to back up via iTunes, so I'm going to wait for a little bit as well, until I can do that. I've got some things going on at the moment, so upgrading isn't a huge priority right now, but I'll do it in the next few days or so, especially considering that it's a security update.
