I use an email system of updating.

Unless my UI is blowing multi colored chunks over my screen , i don't update.

I glance at the emails for a few select addons but for the most part it can go from anywhere from a week to a month between my addon updates.

I also sit on a few IRC channels where the repo report bots post to. If I see something come up that looks vitally important I'll update.

Different strokes for different folks
