Upgrades to fix bugs usually happen after my filer crashes and causes downtime and (sometimes) data loss for my users. That's hardly a "feature".
I've got a filer that has never had an OS upgrade and has been in service for about 3 years now.
You must be blessed. I'm on my third filer and it's the first one I've had that actually went as long as *3* months before it had a problem (a crash that requires - guess what? - and upgrade to fix).
