Is that reasonable or is the core code so rock-solid that I am waiting for no good reason?

I update based off the security risk. If I feel like the security updates on the core updates is relevant to my situation (unique user permissions) then i'll update pretty quickly. But if its not essential, I'll usually wait till I have the time to do a upgrade. Also, if necessary, a downgrade if things go wrong.
