In my own personal experience if the updates are done in the middle of 
the night 99.9999999......%  of the people using the machines would 
never know there was an update. Once in a great while there might be a 
problem, but.........

The one exception I have is from 8.04 to 8.10. AND, that's only because 
of the change to KDE 4. In my previous three updates [ 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 
] I couldn't tell a difference afterwards. Just some of the version 
numbers changed. Everything still worked the same. Everything still 
looked the same. Everything was still in the same place. If there was a 
8.10/3.5.10 I doubt anyone would know a difference from 8.04 > 8.10.
