 It depends on your priorities.  If you have an existing mail setup for a
company (lets say you work for them), if the mail goes down, you're up to
your eyeballs in llama doo-doo.

 If you're installing/upgrading a package on a live box that simply
*cannot* go down, for any reason, then yes, its akin to learning to fly.

 Not that I've got my pilot's license... :-)
