An interesting question
This will change from Daryna (v4.0)
Take a look at the Mint planet

September 14 about mintUpdate
Updates of this kind are gone in Celena
Oh - one thing - it's the maintainers of the different applications (like Pidgin) not Mint (or any other distro) that makes these updates

You would still have to actively update your programs not maintained by Mint
