The problem is if you're doing a broad installation, as in update world which installs all updated packages, and you upgrade yourself into version-incompatibility, where some essential system will not run because one or more packages that DID install is incompatible with one that could not.
True, except that no essential system package depends on anything with this problem generally.
of course, "essential" is highly subjective. With the current vast expanse of hard drive space, it can make sense to keep not just /etc/ but your whole damn system in a subversion respository. svn as backup software!
