That one is worth noting.

Would have to get keep track of it after upgrade.

I know that this is a highly complex job. There are however some
contraints within which I have to work e.g. "make it work as if nothing
happened". Unfortunately I cannot test drive it in the lab for a few
days, but I can take it out of production and prepare it during a day,
making sure that all features work as expected.

Best Regards.
