Problems with Updates

In the last couple of months, automatic updates from Ubuntu have broken
sound and XV extensions for X11 on my system. I think that in the future
once I have my system working correctly, I'm just going to neglect the
updates, all of them, including security updates.
What is the biggest risk associated with this on a laptop computer? I
just don't think security updates are going to be that big a problem for
me.
Is there a way to mitigate this problem without my system breaking on a
regular basis?
Why aren't these updates more solid than this? There is no reason that
whole subsystems should be trashed by an automatic update. Wait until
they are stable!
