JFC Apple! Would you please stop realsing these updates when you feel like it?
I just finished updating 150 Macs and 150 iPads with a week left before school starts and you pull this crap.
I'd rather they release more updates close together to patch vulnerabilities in a timely fashion than space them out to be less of a hassle for people managing lots of devices.

I prefer Apple continue to release security updates as soon as possible, versus changing their policy to accommodate paid employees like you who complain about having to do their job on a timely schedule.
