I follow the security list and do security updates as required, of

need to do daily full upgrades just to stay up with security.

I haven't found it so, but then, as I noted, I run neither KDE nor
Gnome. It appears to me from watching this list that the practice of
blindly upgrading nightly causes far more problems than it solves.
