There's nothing quite like a good conspiracy theory to start the morning, I read your comment and thought, "Gosh, encoding phoning home spyware that way would be straight forward to implement on top of an automatic updates feature."

I won't say I am a bit more paranoid, rather I am amused by the thought that I could be, but for the understanding that the technical details are so raw that there is no avoiding such exploits once anyone is granted my trust.
