Yes -- but it's a compromise between efficiency and also broadcasting
to the network that you've just downloaded a firmware with a security

Yes, that's certainly fair -- although I hope that at least one person
would reboot straight away given it's a security update.

It's up to the thing publishing -- for the case of firmware payload
(which is a default off option) it's 30 days for firmware and 24 hours
for metadata (which would be default on).
