7.5 has already had some significant changes made in how writes are done
to disk. If I had very valuable data to protect I would already consider
7.5 a risky upgrade (in comparison to the 7.3 to 7.4 upgrade).

If this is your situation, going to 7.4.3 and sticking with it for a while
waiting to see how 7.5 does, may be a good idea.
