Comment (by audrasjb):

 As said on Slack and just in case you didn't see the conversation
 @karmatosed, I'm afraid we can't use "Switch to automatic updates for
 maintenance and security release only" as disabling major auto-udpates
 doesn't mean that security updates will be enabled. I know that sounds
 weird, but technically, minor updates can be disabled while majors are
 enabled 😅

 That's possible because of filters bellow: They were introduced in WP 3.7
 and are totally independant each others:
 {{{
 add_filter( 'allow_dev_auto_core_updates', '__return_true' );           //
 Enable development updates
 add_filter( 'allow_minor_auto_core_updates', '__return_true' );         //
 Enable minor updates
 add_filter( 'allow_major_auto_core_updates', '__return_true' );         //
 Enable major updates
 }}}
