We had something like this happen recently; a new "feature" in a particular package breaks catastrophically in our environment. We were luckily about to quash it before it spread too far. This is also why I train people to look /very carefully/ at config file diffs on updates.

You can't just "Yes-default" enter-key your way through all those prompts; you /will/ lock yourself out of your server and break critical services.
