By your list (3) makes no sense. An update can only affect people that 
use the package. So the risk-reward ratio of updating a package is not 
related to the popularity of a package.

If there's a major fix to gnome-radio this will be very important to 
gnome-radio users and zero risk to everyone else. The only risk would be 
of extra breakage which only affected gnome-radio users anyway.
