Here are some of my favorites: 1) Allow time for early adopters to shake out bugs that would make us scramble otherwise at release time (yes, we've seen them for major TeamCity releases:-) And no, we're usually not early adopters. 2) Wait until you need the new functionality. Why risk destabilizing 10's or 100's of developer environments for no good reason? 3) Test or pilot the release in-house before going whole-hog.

There are several very good reasons to wait instead of upgrading immediately to a major release. Here are some of my favorites:

1) Allow time for early adopters to shake out bugs that would make us scramble otherwise at release time (yes, we’ve seen them for major TeamCity releases:-) And no, we’re usually not early adopters.

2) Wait until you need the new functionality. Why risk destabilizing 10’s or 100’s of developer environments for no good reason?

3) Test or pilot the release in-house before going whole-hog.
