That is an entirely different point.

And I am sure Kovid will not delay release of those *tentative* enhancements... any more than they already are.
Perhaps @uriuri would like to work on those instead, but then again, perhaps not.

Where an item ranks on the average wishlist is an important qualification... to someone who isn't specifically interested in a specific feature. I wouldn't automatically assume that is not the case here.

There is also the issue that auto updating will probably push up the download traffic by a significant volume. I doubt Kovid's ongoing revenue would increase in proportion to the ongoing expense of the download traffic charges he would have to pay.
That is why I recommended looking into incremental patching. As itimpi said, that should result in a net decrease in bandwidth costs... especially if it defaults to off.

@Kovid - please replace "I do a fairly good job with that..." with "I do an awesome job with that...", it will scan more better
Agreed!
