should auto updaters be disabled?

[raingloom]

I've been using gPodder and Gajim for a while and right now both are 
notifying me about new versions, gPodder about an update to itself and 
Gajim about an update to OMEMO. Both the OMEMO plugin and gPodder are 
managed by Guix, so the builtin updaters don't really have any business 
mucking with my setup.

I want to patch it out of gPodder, but what do others think? Would it 
make more sense to add a configuration option and fix it upstream?

For Gajim, I'm not yet sure, since not all plugins are managed by the 
distro.
