Wait, now you are going to pretend that you ever listened in the first 
place???  I know I don't get much sympathy here because I disagree with 
policies, but find someone you trust that has kept large processes 
running for a long time with a lot of trained operators to ask how an 
unexpected change in an OS will affect things.  If you aren't building 
an OS that can be trusted for large and complex operations (and 
improving it at that), what's the point?  We can get toys anywhere.
