Which EBS 12.1.3 RPC Should I Apply?

A customer was in the process of upgrading their EBS 12.1.3 environment to RPC 4 when they heard about the release of RPC 5.  They asked, "Which one should we apply?"

This kind of question crops up frequently since we're continually producing new EBS updates. There is no definitive right answer.  For example, the answer depends upon:

• How far a customer might have progressed in their testing of the previous update
• The number of customizations affected by the respective updates
• Whether the customer wants new functionality available only in the latest update
• Whether the customer needs fixes that are only available in the latest update
