Hmm, sounds great to me. I loathe automatic updates and consider them a great way to ruin the software I'm used to. I can't possibly count the number of times an update to a piece of software (especially on closed platforms like iOS) broke something I rely on and I had to either wait until the developer fixed the issue, or just accept that the software is never again going to work the way it used to.

Further, I disable notifications for nearly everything, so that point doesn't matter to me either.

I'm definitely relieved that the most-upvoted comment critiquing F-Droid doesn't raise anything of concern for me! I was worried I was about to read something that might push me away from making a de-Googled Android device my next smartphone... haha
