Well, left to themselves - all customers will say that. It is up to us
IT guys to explain to them the benefits of keeping current and the risks
of not doing so. E,g in this case:
- really hard to tell if standby is up to date
- ...and will actually come up if needed
- hard to get help in the advent of problems (not many people are
current with 8,.4 replication for instance)
