Respectfully, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. I update

Why is it safer to update 10 packages once a month than 0.33 packages
every day?

Because packages sometimes get retracted. I like to let them
soak for a while before installation. And I don't install 10
a month. Usually, only two or three get updated. Also, when
I update, I *look* at what is being updated, and I don't always
accept everything there. The poster recommending this was
saying he updates *multiple* times per day. That sounds like
(presumption here) a cron job. Automated. I take *time*
when I update. I don't/can't take the time really to look at
what is getting changed several times a day.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
