Personally I don't have an issue with the auto-updates and like them quite a lot. It automates something away that I do by routine anyway. If the default switched to making holding updates back explicit that would be a big improvement in my book. In particular from a security perspective.
- mikro2nd 4y agoBut everybody's not you. Sometimes we're on expensive, metered bandwidth. Sometimes we're in an online business meeting. Sometimes we're giving/about to give a presentation. Sometimes we're under deadline pressure and can't afford the additional time and stress of a potentially-breaking upgrade. We have lot's of times when we'd really rather postpone an upgrade, for perfectly legitimate reasons. We get the security issue, we'll upgrade when the timing is better. Just don't take that decision out of our hands. Totally automated upgrades are an evil (unless there's an explicit opt-in) and must die.
