I see that for recent AUTOSEL patches you're still using 7 days. In fact, it
seems you may have even decreased it further to 5 days:

Any update on your plan to increase it to 14 days?

I hope you can understand why I have to ask you --- you are the only person who
can change your own policy.

Thanks,
