You are correct in that statement.
Try not to mix your lpp_source base install filesets with update filesets. It can potentially lead to problems, when performing new bos installs with the updated lpp_source
What i usually do is create a base install lpp_source , a lpp_source for stable updates, and a lpp_source for latest and greatest updates.
