> "security updates at the very least" is correct, and sometimes that happens to also be the very most updates that should be made.

And a lot of those updates wouldn't be necessary of software and tools wouldn't offer so much attack surfaces, that they wouldn't need if they cared less about those things as necessary features...

Man I dunno. This sounds right and all, but after years of seeing security issues that don't seem to have anything to do with unnecessary attack surface, I have to say that this just seems unrealistic to me. The problem is that no software runs on a machine without an internet connection, and you can't control the attack surface of other software on the machine.
