OK, let me get this straight.  You don't originally get it.  When it
comes time to use it, its not there.  The user must now install it.  The
user then uses it to upgrade to the next release.  Now, it is there.  It
gets updated during the course of the use of the next release.  Now,
when it is time to go to the *next* new release, it is there and already
updated from any/all updates performed just prior to the 2nd upgrade.

Seems like silly reasoning to me.  Why not just install it, so that it
gets updated during the normal lifetime of that release, so that when it
comes time to upgrade to the next release, it is already there and updated?
