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

I think is very simple...that option can be added but not make it the default choice, so anyone that can and want to activate it will be satisfied. We are just making Ubuntu richer in users' options.

[Sorry, forgot to Cc the list the first time around.]

So? I am suggesting that a new option be added, not that the default be changed.

For those of us not in third world countries, I don't think it is at
all reasonable to wait up to 24 hours to be notified of a critical
security update.
