Don't care. I think that a stance like yours and Carlos's is the right way to deal with Linux. I am not sure if it is natural to deal with major updates of packages, but I am not sure if I am too diligent in dealing with minor updates. Aside from that, I use a package that is no longer maintained by openSUSE (and is not supported by any other distro), and I have a repository set up to update packages related to that software.
