You don't want to pull in extra burden when there's intervention for
just one package. More can go wrong. So it's a case-by-case sort of
thing. The warning to always -Syu is something general, mostly for
people that don't know what they're doing.

An update can involve a number of packages, so if you simply -Sy pkg
there is a chance to break things. This does not apply to independent
package updates and cases such as the one we have here today.

So, do -Syu, unless otherwise stated. There will always be special
cases, there is no one solution.
