Next you'll tell us it's OK for them to patch our servers without our
permission?

To protect the internet from ourselves?

The argument wears thin, and I do not buy it. 

No system should upgrade or patch itself without the user/administrator's
express consent. Even "you are denied access until you upgrade -- here's how
to do so" would be preferable.
