 * I am just wondering what triggers the automatic update or if it should happen
   immediately after installing, configuring and saving? If it is supposed to just
   happen immediately, for some reason it isn’t working for me. If it is supposed
   to happen at some later time, providing at least a brief mention of this in the
   plugin description, readme or settings area would probably be appreciated by 
   some users.
 * Appreciate the time you have taken to create this for everyone.
 * Cheers!

 * The Plugin doesn’t modify the core update behavior or timing; it merely tells
   core that it can or cannot perform the specified updates.
 * The timing is based on transients within core itself, that determine when the
   update routine actually gets fired. I’ll add some wording to the FAQ in the readme,
   though. Good suggestion.

 * Just FYI: looks like core updates could take up to 36 hours to fire automatically
   after first receiving the upgrade notice. This first one is being intentionally
   slow-rolled, but should be faster in the future.

 * That clarifies things for me. Thank you!
