I think I mentioned this twice with little response by the DC community, 
but here goes a third time.  I have things set up so that I can kill 
DC,  swap in the new executables and restart DC, all in about 4 minutes 
or less.  And if things go wrong, I can fall back just as fast.
Users don't know that I've done anything (if the upgrade is good); I 
usually do it during lunchtime....so there shouldn't be a problem with 
doing it prime shift.  So upgrade shouldn't be a big deal.  Of course, 
I'm running a pretty vanilla DC install with no real plugin, no deliver, 
etc.
