In reply to Rick.

My point is when a person states "aficionado and fanaticism" they are making a broad band statement without engaging in actually looking at whom they are speaking to or making statement of.

I am not an aficionado per se and far from a fanatic (at least in anything to do with technology). I have never really been a "this is better than that" person especially in software oh my gosh. I understand the thinking:

Three sided fence. "I Love Wordpress" - "I Dont Like Wordpress" - "I wish they did this Wordpress".

I am none of the above. I dont prescribe to fences.

The "Point is" it is irresponsible for a hosting firm to not scream at Plesk about CPanel when in fact "automatic updates" are important to security of internet users using said websites and webmasters who may well stand at point of libel as a result.

Irregardless if WP has the best or worst update mechanism on the planet.

This is not a minor application like "Ricks Craft Beers CMS". It is said to encompass 20%+ of Internet websites. Those websites are hosted at firms. Those firms get paid for a service. No place in that service does it say, when your signing up, "If you plan on using Wordpress we block mandated updates on the software".

The host firms are paid for the service they provide. If they care step out of that via CPanel or not at the VERY least inform their clients and at the VERY most be upfront about it.

Instead, now there sits a situation where who knows how many WP installs new or old may not get a critical security patch issued a day from now resulting in who knows how much commotion.

Thats just not right.

If something is serious awry with Host Providers and Wordpress update mechanism then take the time, get it all resolved.

Again.... WHY did Plesk do this? Thats the question.
