RE: newRPL - build 1001 released!
well, it depends on your needs about the VM. When I worked on videogames (the toolchains are practically identical to those of the embedded platforms) I used to lock myself into a specific set of libraries and tools and I wouldn't upgrade anything unless it was specifically needed for a toolchain update (which would mean once every 2-3 years).

I have a similar approach now, even if I've switched to web/mobile, but of course I use LTS distros and I only install security patches, so all my VMs last at least 2 years.

If you treat your VM just as a build machine, you won't need to upgrade as often as your main workstation.
