VSE Engine 5600 released, upgrade recommendations?

Hey,

Just got the SNS notification of the new anti malware engine being released (below for reference)

This is my first engine update, would you recommend a big bang approach or treat it like a hotfix/patch and roll it out in batches testing along the way?

Thanks,

Pierce
