exactly. it is something you genuinely never need to think about, except for once in a blue moon. or, more like once in a leap year. and completely unmeasured by the "we will update it when our [horrific] business processes say it's okay" crowd is the cumulative angst of shit being broken FOR NO REASON. and that is to say nothing of the security vulnerabilities and all the other reasons that exist for updating your software.
The slower you update, & the longer you try to maintain a "long-term support" branch, the harder updates get. Gradual changes with a rolling release system are much, much simpler than the massive step changes of a "stable" distro.
