 > Would auto plugin updates disabled via `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_PLUGINS` prevent
 updates that are listed as `autoupdate => true` in the version check
 response from being automatically updated as well?

 The way I was thinking of it was:
 - The constant disables the UI aspects of the feature and defaults all
 plugins to `$update = false` or `true`.
 - The only way to toggle a plugin's auto-update status when the constant
 is defined would be to use the `auto_update_plugin` filter (or a new
 filter that I am debating adding).

 The way the core auto updater works is similar.
 - Constant value becomes the default update value.
 - There is a filter to change the value provided by the constant.
 - There are filters for changing whether to allow each the minor, major,
 and dev version to update.
