This is no longer accurate. As of 5.6, new installations are set to auto-update for major versions as well as minor (see [49581], and the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/10/wp5-6-auto-update-implementation-change/ related Making WordPress Core post]). The inline docs here should be updated to state that installs created prior to 5.6 will not auto-update major versions, but new installs on 5.6 and higher will. It would also be good to scan the rest of the update related files and confirm that the inline docs for other filters and actions accurately reflect this change." defect (bug) closed normal 5.9 Upgrade/Install 5.6 normal fixed good-first-bug has-patch needs-refresh commit docs
