Slightly different.  More like updates and updates-tested.  Something 
you might opt-into after your machine was working the way you want and 
you don't want to take unnecessary chances.  But it might be even better 
to have some sort of per-package risk rating that would go down with age 
unless problems were reported and a per-client choice of how 
bleeding-edge to go.  And packages being pushed to fix security or 
serious known problems could be added with a negative risk rating if the 
packager is sure that it will make things better instead of worse.
