Of course. I'm just saying that in case you're pinning only the default upstream versions from your distro so that they don't change, it's easier to automatically report on which packages have a new version in {distro}-security repository. Then retest and change the pin.

The same can be achieved by subscribing to CVEs... but you have to remember to filter the ones you use. Of course that's not a huge difference, so if someone prefers the second way, there's nothing wrong with it ;)
