Doing updates on your schedule only avoids the symptom, not the > problem. We should strive to do both; cause less rebuilds, update less often. It is comparable to flooding on IRC channels; if you send much more messages, you are much more likely to experience a kick and/or a ban. It is easier not to flood than to convince people there is no problem with you flooding the channel; out of all the IRC channels I know of, I've only come across one where they don't mind pasted long code blocks but that's mostly because of the lack of active moderation and people.
