I think it's the right choice.

This forces unnecessary upgrades, which can play hell with keeping
a server working properly.  Let's wait until we have a real reason
for this kind of a conflict.

[If you have a server which does real work, you usually wind up with a
significant installed base of local software.  Upgrading libraries can
break that local software.  However, security fixes may require that
some parts of the system be upgraded.]
