As the user/owner of the device, no thanks. It should have code updates if and only if I ask it to, which I probably won't unless you have some compelling reason. For the device owner, pulling new updates by itself is just a built in backdoor/RCE exploit, and in practice those backdoors are often used maliciously. I'd much rather my devices have no way to update and boot from ROM.
