Yes, yes I would love that. Though, as I noted, nobody expects that ideal to pan out.
Reality applied to many large organizations to the prospect that things may break on an upgrade translates to "don't upgrade."
And really, this isn't necessarily bad. So long as what isn't getting upgraded has been compartmentalized and does its job correctly. Consider, we don't even think about asking companies to upgrade processors on a yearly basis. Monitors? Good for years. Actually, pretty much all of the hardware.

Why do we think software should be different?
