As I said, security updates shouldn't be avoided.
But dependency can be updated for non-security/bugfix reasons. If you update your own software to accommodate, you impose updates onto all software that depends on yours.
Soon, everybody updates because everybody updates.

@Richerpacker@mastodon.social @RachaelAva1024@tech.lgbt @millie@infosec.exchange ah, sorry, I understood that Rachael was specifically talking about security updates and bug fixes, not updating just because of updating. So your comment to me read like “yes, but also no”.
