I am confused. In the above list it says:
update-notifier has always auto-launched, as long as it has existed in
Ubuntu. The only thing that has changed in Jaunty is how it presents
updates, when there are any. Instead of displaying an icon with a bubble
pointing at it inviting you to click it to show the available updates,
it shows the available updates directly.
This is not true now right? There is an interval, i.e 7 days before it is launched. So it does NOT aways auto-launch.

Also I am more interested in what happens when user can't or does not want to update whenever the dialog is opened. What happens when user just closes it? It will be week or two weeks later the dialog opens up again right?
