I've been snooping around our production systems, and the base code version for everything that we run in the call path is between 2 and 3 years old. It is patched to a fare-thee-well, and the stuff runs quite well. We use only top-tier vendors, yet can't recall ever being happy on code that is less than 1 year old. Too many bleeding edge bugs for my current medication level. How 'bout you guys? How long do you let a codebase steep before you're happy with running it in production? Thanks, David
