I do have "something useful" to do, and yet, I often await new versions
of packages that fix bugs that block me either at work or at school.  I
fail to see the connection between having "something useful" to do
during my day and wanting to see changes before updating packages.  In
general, if someone wants to update software, they might want to know
why. No?
