If you're talking about the latest errata for 5.0, definitely. If you're talking
about applying 5.2 packages to 5.0 without doing a full upgrade, you
may have mixed results, due to dependency conflicts. Generally,
however, when you get 2 versions behind, you're not as secure as you
would be if you just upgrade the whole enchilada. Hey, Cheapbytes is 2
