I paralleled .27 and .28 for a while to make sure I didn't have issues 
before upgrading.  The only thing I noticed was in mythtranscode which I 
used in a script job for post processing.  It has been fixed and I'm 
very content with .28.

I thought is that most work moving forward will be on .28 and not .27, 
so any improvements will not be picked up if I stayed on .27.

There have been some improvements on commercial skips that I noticed 
from my frontend.

Once a month I run upgrades to get the latest patches on Ubuntu and 
mythtv and that's the only time I have to reboot or even mess with the 
backend.  Very stable.
