No one wants to do this because of the risk of the hbc getting deleted BUT what if you buy a new game and have to upgrade???

You can install the last version of HBC and then upgrade your Wii. This version (1.0.6) of HBC won't be erased by Nintendo update (I did it last week-end on mine).

Only uneducated morons (no offence) don't want to update. There is no "risk" of HBC being deleted. If you have an old version it WILL be deleted. If you have the latest version it WONT be deleted. No risk involved. And the latest update is perfectly safe for homebrew, and anything can be done on the latest System Menu homebrew-wise. Also, its not hard to play a game without updating.

To add to SifJar's post:

The only "risk" you have of "bricking" your wii when you update is if you like to pull the the power cord out the your outlet during updates. Otherwise, you're fine.

What if you have backup launcher channels installed as well as the latest homebrew channel - is it still safe to do the wiishop update?

yeah its still safe to update if you have epic fail on your wii. backups arent supported here, nor is pirating WW games.
