I used to be against automatic updates, but bluefin changed my mind. I draw a distinction between *installing* software (exerting control over what runs on my computer) and *updating* already-installed software, which is a maintenance task.

I *had* to update manually in the past, because updates sometimes broke things, and knowing what changed made regressions easier to troubleshoot.

Updates are more reliable on immutable systems, so I'm comfortable delegating/automating package maintenance.
