Fixing 4 is something apple should do. 5 is a marketing decision for them. 
People are used to queuing *for things*. If the apple updates break your 
network instead of just the apple updates, then that is your fault as an 
ISP.

For me, nothing more than the apple updates were broken during those 
hours, that I could tell anyway. "The Internet" wasn't broken.
