The only risk is if you don't want the firmware version that is being rolled out. Choosing one of the later affiliates means you aren't a crash test dummy And in cases of unusually fast releases, you might bypass the earlier versions.
It's fine with me that they tested it on other people's devices first

New in-book navigation and header/footer options were not something I had an urgent need for.
