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.
