Have prevented the upgrade auto-occurring again by specifying we are on a "metered" connection, which seems to be the standard trick to prevent the upgrade to 10. Any idea if this also prevents security updates?

I thought the standard trick to prevent the upgrade to 10 was to use never10 to disable the upgrade.
