Comment (by lovingboth):

 ''I don't understand the objection here.''

 The objection is that the codex page is wrong and misleading :)

 "By default, only minor releases .. are enabled" - this is not true. The
 default is that automatic development updates are also enabled, iff you
 are currently running a development version. As you say, that's defined as
 having a '-' in the version number.

 In the WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE section:

 "Value of true – Development, minor, and major updates are all enabled" -
 this is misleading. The development updates only happen iff you are
 currently running a development version, but I cannot interpreted what's
 there as saying anything other than 'if you set WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE to
 true, you will get development updates regardless of whether or not you
 are running a development version'

 Everything else you say is correct, but it's not currently in the codex
 page.
