I usually do a server housekeeping sweep every couple of days, and I
promptly update whenever an update is available. My machines are
always bang up to date.
I don't make use of masked packages unless absolutely necessary. If
I have had to unmask a package then I look to re-mask it as soon as
the version I need is officially released.
You'll have to update eventually, for security or whatever, so you
might as well do it every day/week. Problems are easier to spot and
roll-back with small incremental updates, compared to traumatic system
reloads.
