If you update something that other packages depends on, you need to
rebuild the dependant packages, or install the binaries of them anyway.
So nothing is different there.

Where is this 'constantly changing' system?

Six month upgrade cycles don't include fixes for security or
correctness.  You have to keep up-to-date with them as anybody else
does--as the fixes become available.
