If you want to ensure continued compatibility with homebrew, don't update until the update has been investigated and possibly patched by people who know what they're doing. If you don't mind potentially being unable to use homebrew, then go ahead and update. That simple. It's your choice, the warnings are just that - warnings.Quote

And what happens if a disk comes along that has a system update on it, and we don't want to mess with GeckoOS to skip the update because we have no use for it otherwise? All this talk about discouraging the newest update seems a little shortsighted. True, I've had my share of bad updates for my pc OS (both windows and linux), and we've all heard the PS3 story I'm sure, but Nintendo does have an lot of control over our Wii's software, and to be honest, they almost certainly know more about it then anyone else as well. So, naturally, this bold "DO NOT UPDATE YOUR WII" disturbs me. It's my Wii. It's already been said multiple times that the homebrew channel is at the user's risk, and if you want to state your opinion that we don't need to update our Wiis, that's fine. But everyone has different preferences, and not everyone will want to use/trust every bit of homebrew out there, and that includes GeckoOS and Beta9.

Erm... only if they steal banner code, which they're forced to because the banner tools and exploit used by HBC haven't been released (for better or worse).

Frankly, it's nice to be able to have homebrew programs as channels. It removes a step from accessing them.

Then i found out about the update and freaked out. decided to rent twilight princess and tried the hack anyways. well it seems to work just fine. i was able to install homebrew channel without a hitch. I then proceeded to install the wii shop and ios51 update and have access to wii shopping channel (although haven't bought anything yet).

Installing apps on a SD card is different than installing apps on the Wii internal memory (also known as NAND memory).
Because you are a newbie and a bit paranoic (you said it :P ), the 23Oct update will makes NO difference for you after all, unless:
A. You are going to install channel/pirate WADs on the NAND (not recommended anyway, and you don't want to piss off the folk here... :P)
B. You going to use GeckoOS rebooter (not working)
C. You going to use some obscure applications (things like emulators and media players still works fine, so far)
But that's something that makes me curious...Quote

You are talking about IOS51 package from Muzer / Tona, right? Well, if you REALLY installed one of them, you didn't updated to 23Oct yet, because both installers relies on fakesigning bug, that was fixed on 23Oct update. (And if you did the update, they are not required anyway.) In the first case, considere yourself lucky.

Neither installer *relies* on it. Although if you tell my installer to patch IOS51, it will try to use it.Quote

yes im talking about muzer wii shop and ios51 installer. So you are saying that is one application that if the wii does have the oct 23 update then it would not be able to install it?
(I'm 100% sure I successfully did an update after Oct23).

it appears that i can still run the hack, so i just want to know what program installation will fail with the oct 23 update. I'm just also trying to figure out how one can tell if you have an oct updated wii unit (which be helpful for people buying a new unit from here on which may have the update installed at the factory).

not really needing to run the program but just trying to figure out exactly what cannot be done if you have installed the oct23 update (w/o ever running the twilight hack first). it appears that i can still run the hack, so i just want to know what program installation will fail with the oct 23 update.
