It is a good idea not to use updates. Because you probably do not have a problem that needs updates.
Sorry, but this needs to be dismissed - as nonsense. If no-one updated software, we would all be using clockwork software from the 1960s!
Updates do not just solve "problems". Instead they add functionality, correct bugs, and protect against discovered vulnerabilities. It is thus generally a Very Good idea to apply them. Modern software often "phones home" at intervals in order to pick up updates as they are made available.
But it is worth mentioning that OpenOffice, unlike some other products, does not provide incremental updates which can be applied to particular versions. Instead, upgrades are provided in the form of complete new versions. With free software, it is seldom sensible to be using anything other than the latest version; in other words, it is good practice to install new versions when they become available.
