I have to admit I do, because they add absolutely nothing of interest to the system and 'fix' a bunch of bugs I don't think anyone's actually ever experienced.

And the posts about them online make me think 'who the hell cares?'

Anyone agree?
 
Is that what the update I received yesterday was for? I've never noticed any stability problems before.
 
I believe they're only for blocking flashkarts...
 
Yes, they are obnoxious. But I assume Nintendo's using them to prevent people from using hacking stuff on their handheld.
 
I used to get a little excited whenever there was an update. But now it's a chore because I have to quit what I'm doing at the time for something which won't even affect me. I suppose I could leave it for a while but what's the point in leaving it?
