Should XI appliance be regularly updated with YUM?

Hello XI support

Should XI appliance be regularly updated with YUM?
- we've got ours last fall, curious if this is something we should start doing?

Thanks

Yes, it's always good to keep your server operating systems up to date with the latest updates. My servers are updated weekly and I do not experience any issues.

chattr -i /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules
