In reply to Jeff King.

Jeff,

That was not my experience with 4.6.1. My two client sites on GD did not update for several days. I was checking daily because I was concerned about the security implications. I updated over 40 other clients within an hour of 4.6.1 being released.

I was not aware that I had any control of the WP version through the control panel. I will take another look at this.

Thanks!
