There is an exclusion list, so you can enter patches there which you don't 
want. And yes, it's of course possible to code a delay into the script. After 
all it's just a shell script.

However, I'd rather take the risk of a faulty patch than to have a popular 
exploit on the machines, so I go for the instant upgrade. ;o).
