Yup, it's a well established truism at this point that if you need a stable system (or don't have excellent data backups) you should never install the .0 version of any Apple OS. And while many Cocoa apps should be forwards-compatible out of the box, if you rely on Homebrew it may be several months before the packages you need are all updated.

A large part of software in Homebrew is already pre-compiled (bottled) for High Sierra: % find Formula -name '*.rb' | wc -l 4363 % find Formula -name '*.rb' -exec grep "sha.*:high_sierra" {} \; | wc -l 3634 Most of the stuff that I have been installing the last one or two weeks was installed as bottles.
