    It’s good practice for patching purposes. You should always be maintaining stable OS versions and a memory leak or the like is fairly uncommon. I think I’ve seen it once in my career on a particular check point OS version.

      Yeah, I’m more worried about keeping up on patches and ensuring things will start back up properly than memory leaks. But minor security and performance wins are nice too.
