Except "security patch" of which kind? Expecially for an e-reader. There is nothing that can be "so" dangerous, and I can guarantee you that if really a 0-day security hole was discovered, you would read about it everywhere before you get the chance to install the new fw.
When they say "security patch", etiher they are empty words, or they refer to jb holes patching. There is nothing that is so urgent that you have to patch immediately.

For the rest: you might miss an enhancement... or not. That is precisely the point: they're not telling you "never do the update", they're just explaining why they don't do it immediately - what you couldn't understand: do it, absolutely, but wait a few days to see on other people's kindle what happens, what changes and what not.
