I completely agree that scheduling has to be controlled by the customer (you) and having more context on the change helps. In AWS I can schedule the maintenance windows, and I know if it's because it's a major version bump or a patch, and I can talk to support if I'm concerned. For me the major consideration is getting away from toil so I can spend time improving things that will move the needle. If somebody else can do a half-decent job, and there's a backup plan in case things go wrong, please somebody else do it for me!
