Because when the boot file is coming quite a lot out-of-date the boot
process will be as slow as before and one might think that something is
broken. One could even check for simple replaces (last number of a
shared lib has changed) and rerun the ordering process...

But no problem with me if you don't want, since I am installing this on
my personal laptop I have added the cron job myself.

Best wishes

The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred

at number 79. ....

been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe the
best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a
building.
