It feels weird to me to read that you talk about many distros of Linux, because that implies you know IT stuff, but the above sentence also suggests you don't do it "professionally".
If you did, you'd know that there is no such thing as "security and performance improvements" no strings attached, ever.
Any new version of any software solves
old issues, and opens
new ones. The difference is that the old ones, you know them, and generally have a way to mitigate them or a workaround around them. With the new ones... who knows? Just because they are new, nobody knows how impacting they are and how to solve them.
That's a general rule, that is valid everywhere, always, forever.
Maybe "that" specific update won't cause any problem, or won't take away anything that you need.. but you can never be sure. And since with Kindle you can't go back.. better wait just a little bit.
