In that case, the WLAN access point ("FooAP" or so) should be tagged as
"modem", not sure if n-m can do that. Am trying to file a wishlist
bug for that by BCCing submit@.
But in general I think we want that our users get security updates ASAP,
so the current default looks mostly sane to me. Maybe somebody knows a
shell on-liner along the line of systemd-inhibit or some d-bus call
which deactivates automatic download for the time being for "power
users" and/or tags a WLAN connection as "modem".

Ok, this is an issue of the individual frontends then, not NM itself.
Feel free to file bugs for nm-applet, gnome-control-center etc. Ideally
upstream.
