At our boundries that we've defined.

Yes, but are the FL developers willing to?  And should FL not try to
warn these people about a problem which could cause our updates to fail
to install on their machine?  And provide a solution that prevents such
failures?

As was said earlier, this is an optional upgrade anyway.  So if they want
to live with the bugs, and corrupt their system or fail to update their
system, that is fine and they may do so.  If instead they would like
a more stable system so they can sleep better, then they can update it.

Myself, I've been hit too many times by the bugs not to update.  Your
mileage may vary.
