	I was thinking that maybe the best way would be to update one 
test machine, run that configuration for a week (and do your best to 
beat the snot out of it ;-), and if it works for you then push it out 
into production.

	You wouldn't be quite as up-to-date (your production machines 
would always be at least a week behind), but you should be much more 
certain that you won't run into any transient problems that keep the 
production machines from running.
