As Astur said - what if you have many clients. Can I upgrade the platform and it will be working still if the clients runs on different versions of CU's objects?
Can you install platform updates without installing objects updates and the other way around or will there be conflicts running on different versions? Best practice would be if both are running on same version, but if you have many clients on a server.
I support Suresh and also think that updating executables would not make your system worse. There is of course always a risk of some unexpected system behavior when updating executables, however when updating all the objects, I would also recommend to update executables.
If you are trying to solve a specific bug and instead of updating all the objects affected in CU, it makes sense to find out that object and Merge. But if you are trying to apply all CU objects in that case i would recommend you to update executables too.
Lets think in the following scenario: you support a 50 users installation and you need just some of the solved bugs which come in a CU... You might consider just updating objects, would you? I have read about ClickOne, but, havent test it yet.
The executable upgrade is much easier then object upgrade, it is just copying of dll's not sure why you do not want to upgrade the executables. It is recommend to update executables when you update the objects. Can you explain why you do not want to update the executables ?
As a best practice, it is recommended you should update both objects and executables. I can imagine why someone wants to update only executables, but not objects, as there might be customizations and timesaving is needed. But, why do you want to keep old executables? (I guess you can copy existing executables, roll a CU update, then copy old executables back with overwriting and see what would happen).
