The one issue I see with that is that we would have to default to the 
conservative updates because switching from regular to conservative would 
mean to downgrade stuff which we don't really support (so we need to make 
enabling the complete updates an opt-in choice), when actually the regular 
updates is what most of our users would be best off with (at least IMHO).
