Even on the production servers, thanks to them being VMware guests I can pull a snapshot prior to doing the updates, and if the update breaks things badly enough I can roll back the snapshot from VMware and triage the problem. Updates should never be blind, IMHO, especially for production servers.

While the test desktop is not identically configured, it is close enough to be a valid test case, all the way down to the nVidia graphics.
