I agree. It is, by the same token, your duty to yourself to ensure that, if the answer is, "No," you get that answer in writing so that future failures are not possibly pinned on you as having been negligent in installing stability and security releases. By the way, I always refer to these of late as "security and stability" rather than "minor" releases. I do that because it presents them to the target audience in a way that is understandable. Those releases are, for the project, a maintenance burden and not a way to introduce features. It's wise to keep that in mind when presenting such releases to managers responsible for the decision.
