   Carlos was perfectly correct when he pointed out that Paul was asking   
   about Updates (within a level) rather than Upgrades (to a new level).   
   Tumbleweed is a rolling release so the difference between the two words   
   is arbitrary there, when it comes to Leap it does make a difference.

   That was a reply to "how often"?  Just barely.
