If I'm not mistaken, the timeout period starts when there is a package
for updates testing.  We can't get to the updates testing package phase
w/out somebody doing the first level QA which includes making sure the
patch uses is a known good patch from at least some other vendor.  So
the plot to root all Legacy systems is going to have to start further up
the food chain.
