Yeah, being a first adopter can be a pain, but I don't think that's what they're saying here. Github was 4 years and 2 major versions behind on upgrades. Upgrade Early does not mean Upgrade Instantly. I would argue that "lagging a couple of months behind" is upgrading early, because these upgrade horror stories always come out of companies that are years and years behind. Having some patience and waiting a little, combined with the discipline to not wait too long is part of a mature skillset.
