I update for each major release, i.e. 6.X.Y, just the
"X" and not the "Y."

Of course, everything that directly uses the kernel, such
as nvidia, must also be rebuilt.

Thus, new kernel headers need to be installed.

IMO, the kernel release cycle is too short.  They should
release once a year instead of every three months.
