Their announcement (see Reddit for example) says it was a “content deployment” issue which could suggest it’s the AV definitions/whatever rather than the driver itself… so even if you had gradual rollout for drivers, it might not help!
I came to HN hoping to find more technical info on the issue, and with hundreds of comments yours is the first I found with something of interest, so thanks! Too bad there's no way to upvote it to the top.
In most appreciations of risk around upgrades in environments with which i am familiar, changing config/static data etc counts as a systemic update and is controlled in the same way
