You mean similar to what is done in Linux Mint, where there are
different priority levels for the upgrades? It may help, but would be
more difficult to implement, and can still cause problems, when the
security upgrades accumulate.

I do not say that people should ignore the need for security upgrades. I
think it is important to get a 'heads up' warning as soon as possible.
This is done with the alternative 'Display immediately', which is the
default in Ubuntu 14.04.x LTS.

Persistent live systems are sensitive, and it is important for the user
to control, if, how and when to perform upgrades.

If the user needs higher security, I think it is better to use an
installed system or a live or persistent live system made from the
current daily iso file as described in the following link:

persistent-live-media

Quote: 'or grab the current 16.04 LTS daily iso file, and create a new
persistent live system. You find it via this link:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/351/builds. In your case,
select a version of Mythbuntu, and you will find a link to the download
information. (The 16.04 daily iso files will no longer be updated after
16.04.5 is released.)'
