New SAS releases are pretty reliable in my experience (at least, since V7).

I don't think you should have any concerns about its reliability. Please bear in mind that M7 contains all accumulated maintenance and bug fixes since the original 9.4 release.</P> Thu, 01 Oct 2020 22:27:28 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/SAS-9-4-M5-upgrade-to-SAS-9-4-M6/m-p/688385#M20235 SASKiwi 2020-10-01T22:27:28Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/SAS-9-4-M5-upgrade-to-SAS-9-4-M6/m-p/688915#M20275 <P>Thank you all for your responses.Yes, we are upgrading to M7 as well.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 05 Oct 2020 16:00:29 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/SAS-9-4-M5-upgrade-to-SAS-9-4-M6/m-p/688915#M20275 RupaJ 2020-10-05T16:00:29Z
