wp_get_update_data() calls are not pluggable

Up to 4.1 I was able to disable core, themes and plugin updates and related HTTP traffic.

In 4.1 new wp_get_update_data() calls are much like hardcoded than pluggable, I wasn't able to disable them all. Especially not the ones in wp-admin/menu.php

Could you make wp_get_update_data() calls pluggable? Or give me an advise to disable them?

My current workaround is to fiddle with the transients:

Thank you!

do the following filters in place already not work for this?

remove_action( 'admin_init', '_maybe_update_core' );
remove_action( 'admin_init', '_maybe_update_plugins' );
remove_action( 'admin_init', '_maybe_update_themes' );

Here you can see that wp_get_update_data() is executed without condition.

The only way to make it ineffective is to alter the transient's value.

Actually the transients could contain update data because my mu-plugin allows update by pushing the "Check again" button.
