760697 - Provide ability to disable update staging from the update xml

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect, P3)

Description

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

This is a safety measure to override update staging (bug 307181) from the update xml in case things go wonky. This way even if there are problems with staging we can fallback to not using it.

It would be good to add the ability to disable service updates at the same time.

Robert, could you provide initial feedback whether or not this is doing all the things we want?

I'm unlikely to get to this in the next two weeks, so unassigning myself.
