Shouldn't update-manager's "check for updates" setting have an "hourly" option?

A fair point, but I think that up to 24 hours without a critical
security update could be undesirable in some situations. Certainly, I
think the default should remain "daily." For what it's worth, Fedora's
default is daily but it does provide an hourly option. I still think
it would be preferable for Ubuntu to have one as well...
