This sounds tempting. Upstreams of quite a bunch of packages are
well-behaved and could be trusted to produce non-breaking updates, at least
for patch and minor versions. What worries me are license changes and
security issues. While the former could be formally detected
(licensecheck), the entry threshold for potential backdoors would be
lowered by auto-updates (man-in-the-middle and the like). I'd trust only
GPG-signed release tarballs.

Best,
Andrius
