That's an interesting theory. No system update is risk free. They should
not be automatically imposed on users unless they have opted into such a
scheme.
As an example, personally I don't update my laptop when I'm away from home
(except if there were a really serious security update).
We test updates, but they are not, and cannot be, risk free.
