    Should still be doing phased rollouts of any patches, and where possible, implementing them on pre-prod first.

      Pre-prod is ideal, but a pipe dream for many. Lots of folks barely get prod.

      We still stagger patching so things like this only wipe some of the critical infrastructure, but that still causes needless issues.

      For security updates in critical infrastructure, no. You want that right away, in best case instant. You can’t risk a zero day being used to kill people.

        Even security updates can be uncritical or supercritical. Consult the patch notes or get burned lol
