If a library falls in the forest...   I can see both sides of the 
argument. Fedora has frequent updates of stuff that I don't even 
recognize. Presumably they are improvements but of what?

VS Code generally has a monthly update and restarts with a tab explaining 
all the new improvements. Most of the time my reaction is 'Yeah, that's 
nice, whatever it is.'

Many users like it that way. 'Improvements' like Unity tend to get noticed 
and it isn't always in a good way.
