This really depends if you are running a hobby on a server, or running a business. I update client side apps cause it is exciting and it doesn't matter to me if it breaks. If it does, we cry foul and the developer updates a patch hopefully within a few days or weeks.
On a production environment, this is much different. There's a reason why people say "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." A down time of 5 minutes could cost one company thousands while another company millions. If the cash printing machine is down, having a broken image uploader would be the least of their concerns.
