It has been a long time since I've been willing to install any update from Apple on day 1. I use all of their stuff and I don't update any of it for usually a couple of weeks after an update is released. If there are serious zero-day security fixes, I will probably update sooner, but still not on day 1.
Almost everyone is less frustrated if they wait at least a week to install an OS update.
