How do you deal with security updates for scripts?

How do you deal with security updates for scripts you are using?

Do you religiously update as soon as they are released or do you wait ?

How do I deal ? Badly

I'll normally wait a bit of time .. make sure its not broken something else unless of course its a major security issue in which case I'll try to upgrade immediately

Okay, but how are you going to know it's a major security update?

Do you keep an eye on the security bulletins? And I don't mean the ones issued by the developers ...

Hence I said badly ...

Its one of the reasons I asked for a feed / posts on the latest security releases on here (though for me now I think all the posts in those feeds are overkill) I need posts on maybe 10 different systems and a lot of the others I don't have time to check ... or I don't care ...

I guess a lot of the time we rely on the security issues not being exploited ..
