By the way, Debian Linux seems to do this pretty well. Surely there are
millions of Debian machines spread across the entire planet, with
multiple hardware architectures to support, too (although I only have
experience with a couple). Except when there has been a delay in
initiating the release of an update, or where there has been a server
failure, I don't really recall Apple-style inconsistencies in the
publication or delivery of those updates.
The users of Debian can download updates themselves if the automatic
updating isn't working. They also tend to be more technically skilled.

The number of times I've personally found updates missing our out of
date from Linux/Unix distribution mirrors is not insignificant.
Have fun,
