Superseded updates in WSUS, install?

Good afternoon, I have a question for the experts.
There is a small LAN with WSUS.
As usual, in order to control the process of installing updates, you need to read what the update is and, if necessary, confirm for installation. But there is a list of updates that have the status "replaced" ( superseded ). After searching the Internet for information, I concluded that they can be ignored. At the same time, WSUS shows that they need to be installed! ( Needed count ). So what is the right thing to do, install or not? And why? Thank you!

At the same time, WSUS shows that they need to be installed!

WSUS shows all eligible updates that were not rejected. But this does not mean that this update will be installed. If a newer and approved version is available, it will be installed.

Допустим, в январе выходит обновление KB001, исправляющее проблему с зависанием калькулятора. А в феврале выходит обновление KB002, теперь уже действительно исправляющее проблему с зависанием калькулятора и заменяющее KB001. Запустив в марте WSUS вы увидите оба этих обновления как требующие установки. В большинстве случаев можно спокойно выбирать более новое, а все старые версии отклонить. Если одобрить оба, то будет установлено KB002, а KB001 пропадёт из списка требующих установки.
