Comment (by langdon):
I am not sure if this is the right place to answer this (vs the bug
reference in comment:1), but the reason many cloud instances do not get
updated is because they operate in a MTTR vs. a MTBF model. In other
words, an instance should never get updates, rather, when updates are
required, a new instance (w/ the updates) should be created, the
application tested, traffic migrated, and then the original instance is
destroyed.
In recognition that most computing stereotypes are well shy of the 80%
rule :), I think having this function, perhaps even by default, is a good
thing, as long as it is "disable-able" easily. In many environments, the
performance and/or network hit of collecting this information would not be
acceptable.
