I think F5 never published documentation showing what pieces of the configuration exist only once, and which pieces get versioned, with previous versions staying in memory and continue to be applied to appropriate connections. I have not seen that solution doc before, and it just confirms my feeling with words such as "might" "some" "most"....

 

 

If your boss says I don't want anything to break then you say we are not making any changes. Make changes only in declared outage window, where breaking is expected by end users. BIGIP is built in such a way that most of the time no breaking happens, but there is no published document to help you ascertain what change could affect what connections. IMHO.
