Is the 1.6 urgent? (currently on 1.5 using the .32 kernel)

Hi all,

I have a cluster of 1.5 proxmox hosts using the .32 kernel and everything is fine. The only relevant thing that I can see on the release notes is "bug fixes"?

Upgrading these hosts will be a pain because the (almost 80 VMs) need to be restarted in a certain order (i.e. the vyatta DHCP server first, then the SQL Servers, then the application servers etc.) which is a non-trivial job :)

How urgent is this upgrade?

I know running the latest is "the right thing to do" but are there any security vulnerabilities in 1.5? I want to know whether I should plan to upgrade *now* or in the next week or three.

Thanks for all your hard work :)

generally it could be a good idea to wait some days before updating important systems - but this decision is finally up to you - as always you should have a reference environment to test if everything is working with your setup. the kernel includes a lot of fixes, just see the announcements on kernel.org.
