I don't see what that accomplishes. If the field is not editable in the view then the value will not be passed in params unless a hand-crafted post is sent. If a hand-crafted post is sent then it can include the updatable flag so a malicious person can still modify the field. I believe that logic in the update action specifically not allowing the field to be updated from params is the only way.
