I used to do this, especially with patch releases. Just bump the version and hope the build passes. My mindset has gradually shifted over time though. These days, it's more a case of updating one thing at a time, and doing the research up front to see what I'm gaining from it or if I might as well stay on the current version. No point updating for the sake of it. That's 5-10 minutes of up-front, preventative effort that might otherwise become hours of reactive firefighting, and as much time spent on damage control, if it got into production unchecked.
