I would want them if I had some reason to believe they wouldn't break my 
machine.  But I have my reasons to not believe that.

I'd still complain when it breaks.

Why not?  Most of the time it isn't broken.  Why isn't there a way to 
avoid the times when it is on the machines where you care?

I think most people would prefer that certain machines never break - and 
many would be willing to test on a less critical machine if exactly what 
they tested would later be reproduced on their more important machines, 
but with random rolling updates it doesn't work.
