I'm wondering how often you update software on your HA system? Sometimes it feels like updating HA is a full time job. HAOS, Core, Supervisor, OS, Frontend, HACS components, apps/addons ...

In other environments, I keep updated because many/most updates are fixes for security vulnerabilities, but I don't get the sense that's the reason for these frequent HA updates. I have been updating everything on HA as soon as an update is available, but I'm starting to think that is unwise - waste of time, can break things that are currently working, and my network is pretty locked down.

So, what's your best practice advice?
