As long as the updates are to stable released versions I don't consider that a problem. For the kernel I do my own updates by downloading and building and don't allow the system to update for me. For anything else if there is a new, released, non-beta version I'll probably update to it anyway. I do not do alphas, betas, release candiates, etc.
