Of course they should, but no further IMO.

This sounds more like having to do with your host, not your software.

I DO recommend upgrading to version 3.8.7 however, but no "higher" until 3.8.8 is released.
Large sites, and sites like vBulletin.org likely have staff capable of fixing security holes themselves and do not require patches from vBulletin. Obviously if you have a capable PHP/vBulletin coder on staff and can fix your own security exploits it's not as critical- but for most- it is.

3.8.8 Beta is as stable as any other version. I myself will be upgrading to 3.8.8 Beta once Beta 3 is released. It's time.

Of course, me too. I wasn't arguing against that. The meter from the OP was, "upgrading" to vB4 from vB 3.8. I strongly advise folks merely to think about it really hard, take their time making such a decision, ask themselves what is the compelling reason, and research it before doing so. And wish them luck if they do. I'm sure as hell never doing it.
