This is fine if you are say, only running a web site that sells internet widgets and the only downside to your site going down is a few stroppy stockholders.

If you are running a mission critical service, oh say for example wide-area emergency services dispatch, the downside is people might die and you will look like a dickhead for insisting on living on the bleeding edge.
