Do AVS upgrades increase temporary correlation?
Yes, AVS upgrades create a period of significantly elevated temporary correlation risk. During a coordinated upgrade, a large portion of the network simultaneously shifts to a new, less-tested software state. If this new version contains a bug, it can trigger a correlated failure across all upgraded nodes at the same time. This is why staggered or canary deployments are a critical best practice. By having a small, trusted set of operators upgrade first and monitor for issues, the broader network can upgrade safely after a successful observation period. Treating a mainnet upgrade as a "big bang" event maximizes correlation and is an unnecessary gamble with the network's security.
