I liked your post.  It's easy for us to spend too much time arguing 
about what "real users" have to do and what our real constraints are.

Since your company needs to make the effort to keep things up to date 
and certify the latest version for your environment anyway, consider 
becoming a boost tester.  It's a mostly automatic process which does 
most or all of what you're doing and it would be very helpful for the 
rest of us.
