Simplification is good. And to your credit, "updater" is not without precedent, e.g. https://ninite.com/updater/ http://www.winzip.com/driver-updater.htm But if we follow Mozilla's lead, why don't we just call it "Updates" ? Branching out a little bit...perhaps one day, (I hope), Software Updater will be merged in Software Center and we won't even need to think about these things.
