I believe so to; the continuous incremental updates are a low incremental
cost which is only incurred when there are overlapping files changed.

Depending on what you are changing this happens more or less frequent;
doing a big-bang sync gives you a *pile* of administrative file editing
and it is then *much* easier to mismerge essential changes.

Yep.  And upgrading the OS release or build tools is not that
frequently necessary.   Build tools are very stable and you must realize
that everyone builds on older builds but there are times when you
need to have something less than two months old.
