It was probably some other piece of software but it seems that in v2.x or v3.x one could right click on the update and remove/hide it from the list. I know that was how Windows 7 updates worked.
Also once upon a time I was told to install all the updates because of how it all linked together. Then the UASMaster was added and eventually I was told I didn't need to install these. Now they just keep populating Check for Updates and I keep ignoring them. So while I support having the option to not see some update items my concern would be it possibly failing and hiding items I want to see.
