In that case i suggest running a cron job to post a reminder to you,
say weekly?

On a recent install of 11.1 i blocked the updater at in install time,
and ran it separately later. It took almost 3 hours on a fast machine
with 3 Mb/s dsl. Seriously unfunny time requirement. Fortunately it
only seems to be once. Few later updates took more than 10 minutes.
All manual.
