I liked how the patch rolling out HL2DM stopped all Steam programs - including HL2 SP and Codename: Gordon - from working entirely for several hours for a number of users. Seemed like a good quarter or more.
There's a reason why companies looking at corporate auto-patching systems always insist on the ability to roll back patches. As we know, programmers are human, and so software contains bugs. Patches are software. Hopefully Valve will be looking at an advance access program for modders in the future so we can respond to engine changes when they become necessary, or the first thing you know about a problem with your mod is when it starts segfaulting everywhere from SF to Sydney.

Normal users NEED a automatic patch system. Like windowsupdate, or steam.
ME, you and powers users dont need that, and hate that, but we are less than 8% of users*
