- anaisbetts 5y agoI'm not sure it's even recommended any more. It's technically better because it means that Microsoft can apply security patches out-of-band, but on the other hand, it means that Microsoft can change The Code Your App Executes without you testing it, and tbh if you're writing a production app you should probably make sure your libraries are up-to-date anyways
