It all depends on what your "production" is? I know lots of valid use cases for constantly rolling updates for real-life-production-systems, so please don't think that "stability" is somehow the only way stuff like that can work.
Properly administered/managed /production/ machines should never be updated without properly testing any software update whether it be kernel or application updates.
Google, Netflix, Facebook, and other companies beg to differ.
They don't use single purpose machines and can probably take 100's of machines offline and still function. Try comparing apples to apples.
So, can you explain to me, why these are not `Properly administered/managed/production/ machines' (your words), just because there are lots of them?
As Greg expressed it so clearly: `It all depends on what your "production" is'. Where you replied with the term *never*, without looking at such use cases that get increasingly more common.
