If you want reliability, then you need to do your own testing on your  
own hardware on your own application prior to replacing your working  
version with the new one.  Never rely on anyone else saying "Yeah, it  
will work".  It will come back and bite you where you don't want to  
be bit.

The other side of this is "don't replace what works" and just leave  
things as they are.
