While this certainly makes sense, I start to wonder what

else, like e.g. installation routine, default settings or components
used? Apologies if I'm asking trivial questions here. I'm not a

Fedora user and therefore lack experience in these aspects.
The policy is here:

Package maintainers have a lot of leeway as to how to interpret it. If
you think an update is risky, you *probably* shouldn't do it.
Otherwise, just avoid doing updates "too often."
