Comment (by pbiron):

 I really like the idea behind this ticket, but I fear that given the
 various proposals for what the UI could/should be it's too late for 5.4,
 with beta 1 coming up **very** soon.

 I do, however, there is still time for the "infrastructure" things that
 @desrosj brings up in #comment:38 and #comment:79

 1. emailing site admin when plugins/themes auto-update
 2. `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_PLUGINS` and `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_THEMES` constants

 As for the constants, I also think it would be useful to allow them to
 accept arrays, e.g.

 {{{
 <?php
 // enable auto-update for specific plugins, disable it for all other
 plugins.
 define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_PLUGINS', array( 'plugin_1', 'plugin_2' ) );
 }}}
