This includes anything based on a web browser (Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Chromium, webkit2gtk, etc), as well the Linux kernel itself. Virtually every update of these packages fixes security vulnerabilities, so updates to them should be considered security updates and treated as such.

For kernel updates this is probably not a good idea. Given that updates potentially introduce regressions, being able to distinguish updates with known CVEs that we do need to roll out immediately, versus other updates we can do more compatibility testing on, is critical.
