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.
