I am completely against anyone touching my site. I disabled automatic updates on ALL my sites.

What if I am doing some custom coding on one of the files, working for hours then all of a sudden an update comes and either screws my site or just gets rid of the changes with the updated files?

Before I update I test the update on a private domain that has WordPress on it, I use it to test things, install themes and plugins BEFORE they go up onto a live site.

I have this big issue with allowing third parties or even connecting to their parties, like Akismet and JetPack. Nothing against A & J, just not my thing.

Also, if websites are updated automatically then many site owners are going to get lazy. I like doing the polishing, fixing and so forth on all my sites.
