Waiting to update Joomla from 1.5.15

I've been sitting on my hands, waiting for our hosting setup to be configured with the latest and greatest update of Joomla - 1.5.16 came out several weeks ago, followed quickly with a 1.5.17 update, and while I can easily do manual upgrades, it's much better to do it through the cPanel, managed through Fanastico de Lux. Sometimes, however, it pays to wait:

It appears there are some issues with the most recent updates that can cause plug-ins to automatically disable themselves - this can come as a surprise to clients that think they're just getting a simple security patch. AWS will wait until 1.5.18, and see if the dust settles.
