Indeed! Spoken by someone that seems to have experience maintaining many machines. As secure as the machine is, its security slowly degrades the longer it is out-of-sync with updates (especially security ones) and/or admins administering the machines aren't good enough. System administration isn't a set-it-and-forget-it type of thing.
