The history on these were at one time...ALL updates were auto pushed. Then users cried and wanted freedom and choice.
Fast forward and here we are.
NG is only reacting to what they thought users wanted. IMHO this has turned those who venture into beta-testers. Some like this for they live on the edge.
I do agree they (NG) needs to be a bit more forth coming in their process, however in view of their product line their reluctance is almost
