    I used to care but with recovery tools being what they are and most apps being containers... my base systems tend to be a little more disposable.

    That said, I haven't had problems, even if I am at risk for more of them. I have my snapshots and my backups.

    Because you get updates and have an up to date system?

    Because you get a update once a update for a package comes out, If you dont update for a very long time you need to download a very large update.

    Sure, and that's exactly what you want if you are on a rolling release, isn't it? If you neglect the rolling release for a month, what did you expect would happen? Also if you have more apps and packages, the more updates will come out. Rolling releases are for people who maintain the system and care about the updates.
