This should serve as an incentive to stay on the bleeding edge of security updates. Make automatic updates automatic without requiring a restart every time. Not an incentive to sit on our hands and wait until the second Tuesday of a month. The term Exploit Wednesday was coined in response to Patch Tuesday. :)
Ultimately, I think this change from a monthly security release pattern to a "as soon as it's ready" security release pattern is what needs to happen. For the good of everyone.
Then if people get 0wned, it's their own damn fault.
