I disagree.

I update my systems way more frequently now that I have sysupgrade.

It went from "almost" automated to fully automated, and that takes
a load off the brain.

However, there's about zero reason not to somehow use the sets installed
information to have sysupgrade "just upgrade the installed sets" by
default.
