I imagine a lot of large enterprises will throw a hissy fit if they even attempt to remove the ability to change those settings.
What I meant was that the whole point of the Technical Preview is to test and provide feedback on the latest builds, so if Microsoft gave an easy way for you turn off updates during the preview and you don't receive the latest builds then what what is the point for Microsoft to offer the program in the first place?

I'm assuming that when the final version of Windows 10 is released, there will be a UI way to turn off updates (even if it's not recommended) in addition to the existing registry / policy options.
