The next one should be safe (it's mainly for running the IDE with 
GTK+3). I will create it tomorrow if everything is ok.

Anyway, generally, you should be careful when upgrading a production 
system with any new version of any language, library or software!

I try to never do that in my job. :-) Upgrading a dependency is like a 
new version, so it should be followed by a pre-production server and 
some tests.
