I personally think that upgrading packages should be a conscious, deliberate
action. You never know what changes the developers have put in the upgrade and
what those change would entail in terms of how you will use the package.
I agree. Not only that, but we want users to be conscious of and control
what software they run. Leading them to let things be updated automatically
is the opposite of that.
