Re. Putting bleeding edge packages on production systems I was once told to
put a new versiion of bash on an SGI Ultraviolet, running SLES.

Thank Seymour I had the systems admin skills to boot single user and force

The lesson- what SEEMS like an innocent change can have far reaching
consequences.
