I think my myth box has been going for about 5-6 years now without a
clean reinstall, plus a year previous to that of knoppmyth. On mythbuntu
these days (was originally neat ubuntu, eventually switched apt to
mythbuntu repos, update that way ever since).
It's had incremental hardware updates along the way, maybe 3 mobos in
its life.
It's only had system wide software updates about once a year.
Doing the software updates that rarely means I'm almost guaranteed to
get something broken when I do it, and spend the next couple of weeks
trying to make it all run stable again. I keep thinking more regular
updates would assist in keeping it running smoothly without a big break,
but like you said, when it's running smoothly you just don't want to
touch it (especially when my significant other is using it most evenings!)
