In the ever-changing landscape of CVEs, bug fixes, enhancements, etc., vendors are taking a more rigid stance when it comes to applying patches and security fixes that they have provided. If you are not careful and do as they say without implementing any pre- and post-patch testing and analysis, you open your hardware and systems up to potentially significant performance impact.
