So very true, but the complexities can be considerably reduced by not forcing updates - whether security, dependability, or UX. So many updates I see nowadays are the very 'churn' you mention.
- ryandrake 4y agoI'd be 100% in favor of automatic software updates if there were some guarantee that it was just used for security fixes and nothing else. But if you leave it up to the software vendor to decide what gets automatically pushed, you inevitably backslide back to where we are today where everything gets jammed down the user's throat.
