Unless you are on a rolling release distribution things don't just stop working out of the blue.

But if you want to have some new thing or change something so it works more how you would like, that can lead to some tinkering.

Agree - a rolling-release-distribution (e.g. Gentoo, which is the one I'm using) can update anytime any software/program to any major higher version (which might have "breaking" changes) anytime => I never do any update when I know that I'll absolutely need the system anytime soon (e.g. not now that I'm changing flat as I need Libreoffice&Cups to write&print docs).
