I saw another security update and went and checked to see what version I 
had installed. It looks like it did in fact automatically install the 
update.

While it might be hard to get used to at first, I think I'll leave it 
as-is since this would ensure that my system is automatically up to date 
on security issues.

Maybe it's a good thing after all and time for me to make a little 
change in my routine? :)

Would this affect other updates (ie. bug-fix) of packages or is this 
only for the security repo? Should I still do the apt-get routine weekly 
just in case? I would surmise that we probably won't get any 'normal' 
but fix updates for a long time since Stretch was just released?
