updating a system ...
In my case, the reason is that if it doesn't get updated automatically,
then it probably doesn't get updated at all.
Now the disclaimer:
I'm not a sysadmin
It's my home server running my website and email. Honestly, if I had yum
send me e-mail about what updates are available, then I'd just blindly
install them anyway, so why bother? For me, it's safer to get the
security patches than the off-chance that something will break. By not
getting the security patches, I am a danger to others. Breaking my website
or email doesn't (generally) hurt anyone else.
Is that a good enough reason?
