No, the advantage is that the update process is in your control not your suppliers. Which was the whole point of the article if you'd care to read it.
You can disagree with the utility of having that control yourself vs having it controlled by your supplier. If people here believe that utility to be not worthwhile from their direct experience - that's something I'd really like to hear because I'd likely learn something from it.

- candiodari 10y agoWindows and Microsoft in general are legendary for how good their backwards compatibility is. There's this game from on windows 3.1 I like to play, and I've just got the exe somewhere, "world empire 2", it just works. This is surprisingly common. A linux binary from 20 years ago is just not going to start. Even the basic libc wouldn't be there.
