I think this is a good idea. We did this for years with Boston University
Linux, and I've run with automatic updates in other production environments.
If you're doing it at scale, you need to have some process around it... but
if you're leaving everything the defaults at scale, well, honestly, I think
in this day and age "yes you get updates" is a better default than the
other.
