How Long/Short to Delay Updates?

The infamous GRUB affected most users on Arch and Arch-based users, except Manjaro stable branch

This is what makes Manjaro amazing.
As I understand, no updates are just pushed out in stable branch before being tested first.

@nikgnomic

Manjaro team also created package install-grub to ensure GRUB is correctly rebuilt after an update

I remember this was the main Grub issue. This is really smart.

’ve used for ~10 years on both Arch and Manjaro, and I rarely have any issues.

In my first thread (sort of, was when I installed), KDE, Stability of Manjaro I have seen many users reporting they have been using the same install for very long time.

@Ben

too lazy to follow the basic rule of at least checking before running an update

Well, I just checked the announcements and found an update and found like 83% of 160 users reporting no issues. So, I considered this safe enough and just ran my script.

One question I have here:
I assume my script checks the time stamp of the update in the repos to decide if 3 days have passed or not to install or not.
This update was just yesterday (first of the month), but when I ran the script, I saw it updating.
Are the updates saved with that date (first of the month, the date the update comes out) or an earlier date when it was moved to stable branch?
Same question another way, I assume for example FireFox was moved to Stable repos mid September, and Libreoffice on the 20th, and the update was “published” or released 1st of October, do they keep those dates or they are all dated 1st of October?
