Are you saying that you really NEVER
experienced an upgrade that creates
a problem? I use my computer to work. Sometimes I just can't afford the
risk that the thing breaks, even in minor aspects. E.g. when I am
preparing a presentation or I am under a deadline. For this reasons the
popup cannot be that frequent, it'd be annoying to people like me.
But this creates a time-window for worms. If any.
The -security updates trigger the Update Manager to appear immediately.
There is no delay. Non-security updates don't do that, they get queued
and presented every week by default, unless you manually go into the
update manager or package manager, in which case the Update manager is
deferred for another week.
So the effect is:
- security updates are presented immediately
- others are presented occasionally, on a cadence that's judged
reasonable

Ok but if I close the pop-up, when will I be adviced to upgrade again?
In a week, unless there is a new *security* update before then.
In any
case, what about the system indicator? May it be used for upgrades? I
did not see any details passing by.
Interesting idea, let's discuss it in that thread.
