OK, let's look at a real example. With Windows XP you had full control over this. The IT department where I worked decided to not update servers with a particular patch. They got nailed. A SQL Server worm got into the corporate network and shutdown every SQL Server instance. It took several days to recover. This was not a small company, It was huge, international company. If the company would have allowed one single patch to go through, this would have not happened.

YMMV
