 Replying to [comment:67 kebbet]:
 > Feedback from a beta tester: The copy of the setting is a bit unclear to
 me at a first glance. Does the setting affect plugins and/or themes? Could
 the word ”Core” be added somewhere in the setting area? And a novice might
 ask: what is a major version? is 5.6 major, is 6.0 major? Might be good
 with clarification of that too.

 I hear you on the copy - I do feel like it could use some work. Personally
 I'm against using the word "core". I don't think most users know what
 "Core" means (or should be expected to). To them it's just "WordPress" or
 "my website".

 I think that with the page already having a heading of "WordPress Updates"
 and there being "plugins" and "themes" sections under this with their own
 headings, most people will probably expect this to be for "WordPress". I
 would love to see some user testing around this, but I'm not sure who
 could get that in place in time for release.

 As for "major version", that's another thing that I don't think we should
 expect our users to understand. I'd be in favor of dropping that
 parenthetical entirely, instead using something like one of these:

 1) Keep my site up-to-date with regular feature updates.
 2) Keep my site up-to-date with as new features are released.
 3) Automatically update my site when new features are released.
 4) Update my site for me when new features are released.
