A baseline is a line in the sand. It's the set of updates that you have tested and verified work for your environment. In 3 months or when the next critical vulnerability comes along you might go and create a new baseline that you test and then deploy to all your servers. This way you don't have servers with fragmented firmware versions and you aren't constantly updating or worrying about the next minor version that's always being released. Don't put yourself through trying to constantly update, it's not worth it, find a way to be notified of critical updates instead. You will note that if you have a server with a firmware version above the baseline, you will be notified that you need to downgrade to meet your baseline.
I have emails working but I don't get many emails. My last email was when I updated the console.
