Because you just don't upgrade a full set of firewalls overnight. Most
certainly not if the newer version has no benefits for those customers.
And while we never had an issue with crashing R55 firewalls we have
several customers with R60 firewalls crashing even with Check Point and
all working on the firewalls themselves to find the bugs.
And there is the CPU usage which seems to increase with each and every
firewall upgrade.
So I am becoming more and more conservative where it involves Check Point
upgrades.
