No, I found why we need a proper updater. Manual updates don't work
simply because users don't remember to run them regularly. That's why
all desktop OS's have automatic updates, and it's time we had an
automatic update program that works properly.

BTW I do have backups of my stuff that's on /home, but there's no point
in backing up the stuff in / because it's faster to just re-install.
