why are radnom people try to tell me how i have to do my job
without knowing anyting about how i work?

no there is no need on the production machine becuase all preparing
happens on a dedicated environment with where local and caching repos
and build-environment is available and from where all TESTED updates
are deployed

i do my job properly in making sure that no dumb change
of any upstream maintainer is touching a configuration
of relevant services

so what will you tell me after > 200 ONLINE-dist-upgrades
in the last view years on all sort of servers?
