Comment (by desrosj):

 I'm 80% through a deep review of everything here. Some small feedback that
 can be addressed outside of the improvements that I am working on:

 - We need to standardize the term "auto-update". I confirmed with
 @chanthaboune that it should be hyphenated. I looked at the documentation
 already found within the core auto updater, and it was all over the place
 (auto update, auto-update, autoupdate). After we make this consistent in
 the new code and documentation we are introducing, it should be added to
 the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/spelling/
 spelling best practices page] and a new ticket can be created to fix the
 current inconsistencies.
 - For multisite, I believe in my testing I was able to toggle a plugin's
 auto-update on and off within a site dashboard. This should only be
 available on the network admin plugins screen for the primary network, and
 only network admins should have the ability to turn auto-updates on or
 off.
