I don't have the resources to load up the systems enough to find these  
problems sitting on my desk.  And I can't risk production resources  
for problems known and reported on the *EXACT* same hardware.

"oh but it won't happen to me" isn't a useful methodology in a  
production environment.

I mean, seriously, I know the majority of you are happy rebooting your  
systems 5x daily to run the latest.  I'll do that with my home system,  
no problem.  But I can't do this in a production environment.
