I think you guys are right for general package updates and bug fixes. But I
don't think cloud is anything particularly new in giving the luxury to avoid
patching vulnerabilities.

I'm not going to change anything now, but I think we need to think about how
to do this. Amazon Linux automatically applies critical security fixes, and
notifies on login of important ones. I'm not so keen on the "on login"
approach, because I think _that's_ the "old workflow".
