Why I don't update software:
Why I do update software:
If your system is secure, updating it can only make it insecure. If that is your one and only priority, you have to review updates before applying them, and since you have thoroughly investigated your entire stack up to this update and that version also has your real-world testing behind it, you're probably not going to apply most updates until some other priority comes along or you discover a previously unknown vulnerability.
This "logic" overlooks a number of issues.
Firstly, no system is "secure", only more so or less so given a specific threat model.
Secondly, a system can become less secure without any changes, as exploits are discovered.
