I have to admit that initially I was opposed to the idea of automatic background updates. However, now that I've had a couple of weeks to really ponder it I've changed my mind. :)

My logic? I think we to owe it to everyone on the interwebs to make sure our sites are as secure as possible. If my site becomes comprised it not only affects me but anyone else who may stop by - and that's not fair to them, especially when I could have taken steps to minimize that threat.
