often, these are very-specific issues; currently, with ilok. for me, personally, it's not an issue (as i abandoned the ilok universe several years ago).
updating has risks. and here i am, a 'pro' musician (i earn my living this way), and i run the OS betas (have, for years). moving forward can also be challenging, exciting, adventurous. and i take responsibility for what i do... and have never stopped working.
we each do what we want, and accept (or enjoy) the consequences. so, you do you, and so on....
