Comment (by smub):

 This is a great idea. I agree with @dd32 that it should be for auto-
 updates only. When user requests an update by clicking a button, they
 should get the latest version because that's what they're expecting.

 For auto-updates, I would say a good approach would be split over 6 days:
 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100% - this would be good for large plugins and also
 major updates.

 For plugins with less than 100k installs and / or minor updates, the phase
 can be shortened to 3 days: 20, 50, 100%.

 A bonus would be to allow plugin authors to choose a shorter period for
 minor releases vs. major.

 Another thing that would be helpful for plugin authors here would be more
 analytics in the view to see how the rollout is progressing and such -
 perhaps in a simple dashboard.
