It's not just the time, it's the risk of breaking everything.
When I first installed Ubuntu, in dual boot with Windows by following Ubuntu's official documentation and the onscreen installation steps, nothing worked out of the box, and I had to tweak things a lot with BIOS UEFI settings (again, all officla ubuntu guides giving instructions that would either not work or not correspond with reality) until I finally got the dual boot to work as it should have worked out of the box.
So now I'm afraid that updating the bios may screw up everything (just like simply upgrading ubuntu from 14.04 to 14.10 screwed up grub rendering the system unbootable which fortunately I could repair)

Anyway, regarding the issue at hand, remember that this is a regression
and hence the fact that the bios is outdated should not be of any
relevance (and actually is never a good reason for ignoring bugs in the
first place as I already pointed out many times in other reports) given
that the issue was not present prior to recent updates with the same
bios.

Title:
  xorg started to systematically crash after every suspend/resume

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  - I suspended
  - I pressed a key to resume
  - the screen turned on and I was prompted for the password as usual
  - I entered the password

  => my previous session was lost, every application I had left open
  prior to suspend was closed, all unsaved data was lost and everything
  was as if I had just rebooted.

  Then I tried suspending and resuming again just for the sake of
  testing, and it happened again, exactly the same way.

  It now happens 100% of the times systematically.
  Now maybe (I hope) it will stop happening after a reboot, but for now, once it has started happening, it has become systematic.

  This is not the first time I observe it.
