Yes, and of course we use the feature wherever it makes sense.
However, this mechanism should not be relied upon without reservation. Larger version jumps are often only possible manually, as accompanying tasks and compatibility checks have to be carried out.
In addition, certain (sometimes system-critical) modules are better updated manually and in a specific order in an optimal way; these special features would be overlooked by an automatic system.
Sometimes an update also affects the caches (website caches on the web server) and this data must also be updated manually afterwards.
Since automatic updates are also a source of problems and, in the worst case, can crash a website or disrupt its layout, we maintain all updates manually for critical websites to prevent any outages and temporary visual impairments.
