Comment (by dd32):
Perhaps something similar to this would work?
{{{
◉ Keep my site up to date with regular security and maintenance releases
◎ Keep my site up to date with regular security, maintenance, and feature
releases
}}}
* Skip the developer focused text (minor/major)
* Focus on the Content of the releases (Security & Maintenance (Minor
releases), and Feature (Major releases))
* It's much more explicit as to the current state
* Makes it obvious that they're already receiving security/maintenance
updates
* No option to disable WordPress updates, that's plugin territory / for
people who know what they're opting in to
* Core can flip the default option to the `feature` release option in the
future and existing installs could continue to use the maintenance option.
That could be expanded to something like this, when updates are disabled:
{{{
◉ Do not keep my site updated.
⊙ Keep my site up to date with regular security and maintenance releases
⊙ Keep my site up to date with regular security, maintenance, and feature
releases
Your WordPress installation has updates disabled due to XXXXXXXX.
}}}
(I'm imagining ⊙ is an non-selectable disabled radio button in this case,
and the Do not option is only shown when WordPress detects they're
disabled)
3rd-party toolkits that keep WordPress updates (off the top of my head,
such as Plesk Toolkit) can replace that section with their own notice /
setting that controls their update methods. Plugins can extend the section
to add the `Do not keep updated` option, or more advanced things like
"Wait for the .1 release for major releases" etc.
