We did the latest steemd update to v0.19.10 and it is running well.
I noticed that not a lot of witnesses updated right away, so we did our research and found nothing significantly wrong with updating to v0.19.10 so we went ahead and applied the update.
There has been numerous operating system updates -- we've been keeping on top of those too.
If you've never voted for a witness before, here is the original post that explains how to do it:

Every vote helps. It is free for you to do. Each steem account can vote for up to 30 witnesses.
Your support, helps us continue running.

Thanks for doing what you do. Hope you get some more votes to get you up the ranks
Was a replay required for the update?
The docs said no... but I replayed it anyway, just to see if it would work. The key to the update is your config file may change slightly, so be ready for that.
