What exactly does updating "Base" module do?

Question

I think there can be situations where you may want to upgrade the "Base" module (i.e. update some translation, fix incomplete module uninstallation, etc.), but I'm not clear what exactly I should expect out of it.

When you update base you end up updating all installed modules.
I suggest that any changes you make to screens etc are done as a module rather than on the system - typically for our customers we create a views module which holds these sorts of customisations.

If you update the module you are updating almost everything. Basically the views and the code behind views.

If you are making changes on the view you don't have to reinstall that module because everything is going to get cleared.
