Comment (by nacin):

 No, we should not include information on how to disable updates. We should
 include more information about them, which is likely to lead them to some
 advanced documentation eventually. Disabling it ''is'' for developers. No
 user in their right mind should be disabling updates. If we make that
 information readily available, they will simply question why we are doing
 so. They are reliable, safe, and really should never be disabled by
 someone not knowing what they're doing.

 Separately, I don't think we need to say "since 3.7". They don't need to
 know when the feature was introduced; help text should be a bit more
 timeless than that.

 I'll take the responsibility of reviewing/committing whatever is drafted
 and agreed upon here.
