That is your prerogative but I would disagree.

Thinking back a number of years, the Software Updater app (command name:
update_manager) usually advertises normal updates but, when a distro
upgrade is available, they advertise the distro upgrade in the same window.
Could this confusion be the source of unexpected distro upgrades?
