Is there a need? Maybe, possibly, depends on circumstances.

Is this what people are paying CS for? Absolutely.

After this I imagine there will be an option "do you want updates immediately, or updates when released - n, or n+2, n+6, n+24, n+48 hrs?"

Given the choice I bet there's going to be surprisingly large number of orgs go "we'll take n+24hrs thanks"
