      if it’s working and there’s no security risk, why?

      (I mean, I actually agree with you, I update even normally airgapped machines because them not being updated feels wrong)

        Software these days will always need security patches

        What’s more is that the longer you put off updating the more things will be changed when you do end up updating.

        Even if there are no security risks to mitigate, updates can bring bug fixes and, god forbid, new features once in a while.

          New features on Debian isn’t something that would make it into the repository. Bug fixes might but only if security relevant.
