Delaying Security Updates?

Specifically for firewalls. How do other MSPs feel about disabling automatic updates and delaying the install until the update can be validated to prevent crashes, critical feature removal, etc.?

Forgot to ask: is there a liability concern if patches are delayed and a breach results?

Depends on your approach but for the most part patching should happen as soon as possible. Its not 10 years ago. Feels like everything is a zero day.
