It sure is a Good Thing then I do maintain a bunch of production machines.

"chasing" code is actually one of the fulfilling bits.  Not only do the
machines Just Work because of my labors, but I also catch and report bugs
so other people can benefit.

And, just for the record, "a bunch" has been as high as 50,000 systems
worldwide in a variety of environments and configurations.
