best way to upgrade

[Steven Grimm]

Most users, I'm guessing, take the approach of using a development 
system to track the changes to the memcached code, and only upgrading 
the production systems when there's some particular change that will be 
of use to them. If you're happy with memcached as it is, that seems like 
it might be a better approach since it'll minimize the number of cache 
resets you have to deal with.
