Yes, that I would definitely avoid. "Minor" (really, I call them major, but our implementation of SemVer is weird) updates are the ones likely to introduce big changes or require administrator intervention, so for those, I wouldn't advise doing automatic upgrades without first reading the release notes. Minor versions *should* (usually) be safe to auto-upgrade, our database-issue-trying-to-fix spree in 10.9.z notwithstanding.
