It depends on your answer to the security / stability trade-off. You can bet that any update of C software includes important bug fixes (and other language "ecosystems" are probably not much better). Only a few exploitable bugs are discovered by their authors or "named" with CVEs. Of course, each update brings new bugs, but hopefully it takes a little while to find them and invent exploits.
