Description
The request
Allow N deferrals, where N is an integer (or 0 for no deferrals).
Can have button to "defer for now (N-1 deferrals remaining)" or "Update app now"
This will allow the user notification during work hours to be a little friendlier and probably increase patch compliance without making users more irritable.
This will help users who can't reliably schedule updates after hours due to laptops sometimes being offline at times.
