The original intent as I understood it from the thread long ago[0]

to reduce the number of updates that go out on non-Tuesdays, and make
most updates happen on Tuesdays. The data that Kevin cited seems to be
accomplishing that purpose.
But whom does this help? There are still updates going out daily, the
repodata download cost is still there, the notifications too if you aren't
doing client-side batching (and if you are, you don't need server-side
batching to begin with).
The only difference I see is that some fixes take longer to reach the users
and that the huge Tuesday (Wednesday morning for most users) pushes are a
huge pain to go through if you want to actually check what you are updating.
(Am I the only one who bothers reading update notes?)
