With all these continual updates it would be really nice if there was an option in the menu that just kept itself updated always.  it's quite a process to close existing copy, shutdown exit media server, download, open disk image, drag to applications, click through the approvals, re-launch,  etc.  I have automatic updates enabled but it doesn't seem to do it.
