I don't think so. In fact, oftentimes, the updates I want to postpone
are security updates, because they are the ones which require a reboot.

As such, not a bad idea to have a different color coding for
high-priority updates. But what I want is a way to distinguish new
updates from skipped, precisely because there might be updates I do want
while I am postponing a particularly intrusive update.
