Hello,

These days I had a problem with my nameservers (my machine was unable
to resolve external names) and Emacs hanged on launching with a
message in status bar "Contacting host...".

I believe it checks for updates when starting (and this is good) but
I'd like to disable this or, better, set it to check for updates once
a week.

I didn't find this in documentation.

Yep, you're right. The reason for the current behavior is that occasionally
I make changes to the core package dependencies and people updating to the
latest version might run into missing packages problems. A smarter
initialization solution should be devised indeed and I might hack something
this weekend ( I often receive this particular feature request).

Cheers,
Bozhidar
