I've been known to skim a doc or two, but something this critical isn't
the place to skim. If the individual in question wishes to deploy a
highly stable environment, one would think that individual would take
great care - including following the suggestions made earlier by others
(regression testing, staging, etc.).

If you're not willing to actually read docs, regression test, stage, and
do 'work' in general... Well, one could argue you get the amount of
stability you deserve.

Later,
