I am not sure I understand -- you mean you now rely on entire system to have
the newest software in order to some package to work? What are the rpm
dependencies for then?

You don't know the reason the user didn't update the system, but I can come
with one solid piece -- software is buggy as hell, I reported many bugs, which
were _not_ handled for years. So why I should update some software and risk new
bugs or regressions, if my current version works for me? Few months ago I
installed some updates and my system started freezing constantly, so unless
something it is _required_ I am not willing to take any risks. 

And when user faces such problem as with balsa, he/she should update __entire__
system for just mail client because some rpm misses accurate dependency?
