Re: Currency of packages
Good point. Think about those folks who install an OS in an office suit.
There may be a dozen or more computers that need to work worry free. That's
where stable rules. Maintenance then isn't 'tinker & reboot', 'tinker &
reboot', but a check of system logs and a warm feeling that it's alright :)
Then when the time comes for security updates, it's amazing to know you can
run this system wide and not have to "REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER NOW Yes/No"
