updates.
That they are coming with some frequency does not bother me;
rather it comforts me. Given the openness of Unix & its
derivatives, I reassured that there are folks out there
reexamining the installed code base for potential problems,
before they become widespread problems.
Have you ever read the explanation of the features of the update
that are listed in each update, at the link on Apple's web site?
And then followed up from there to some of the non-Apple
security sites for even more info? Pretty comprhensive stuff.
As a former software engineer, I know firsthand how software is
never perfect. But the open source process beats the pants off
the closed source process of the market leader.
