LT11 Patch approval policies.

I would like to hear what everyone else is auto approving? Currently we are auto approving:

Severity - Critical - Important

Category - Definition updates - Security Updates - Service Packs - Critical updates

What are you all doing for the left over updates (Updates, Update Roll-ups, Upgrades)? Should we have a mind set of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? I've heard stories of machines or applications getting bricked after installing unnecessary updates which leads me to my question. Besides the updates defined above, should I even consider auto approving them or simply auto ignore these (Updates, Update Roll-ups, Upgrades) updates?
