A better comparison would be a software engineer who refuses to patch his out-of-date operating system because he's "not sure what the updates will do".

As opposed to installing every published patch, without internal testing, whether the patch is needed/applicable, or not?

Without realizing it, you're criticizing debian's release methodology without realizing why people use debian. There is often good reason not to just patch things willy-nilly. Patches that are easy and allay obvious safety concerns yes. But being a little bit behind bleeding edge is a good thing.

The virus is a zero day unauthenticated remote code exploit against postfix. Dunno how we're so far into this thing and people don't get that yet.
