Sorry, but this simply false. Every system should, by default, install security patches automatically after standard installation. Systems which are not patched are not an option and not every admin is working on a daily basis on the systems. If the admin decide not to use it, he should disable this feature but it shouldn't be the default setting.
That's fine, do a single update immediately after install. If they are "not an option" how come most OS's on the planet are not patched? (not that this is a good thing, mind you).
I've been doing this long enough to know that patches can often break more than they fix (and can introduce their own security bugs). To blindly patch all the time is an immature way of being an admin.
