This would be excellent - especially for things like driver updates.

Yes, it's very important to exclude some disaster patches

I totally AGREE

Will be helpful to be able to deny based on keyword or specific KB. keyword such as "PREVIEW" would be one we'd use often.

...and option to uninstall patches on device/group/organization level. We've had cases in the past with, for example, cloned computers, which did not see network resources after Windows update due to duplicate SID. And cases, where UEFI update rendered some mainboards permanently defective (had to unsolder BIOS chip and program it manually). So removing patches, beside preventing them, would be a necessity.

This combined with the option to do templates for certain servers. As an example, we have servers which should be updated fast Redhat 9.6 and dotnet8, so being able to create a "profile"/template, give it a name, and tell this profile which updates not to apply, or even also add the policy/tag to this. Eg. is certain tags should result in no updates for OS Rhel 9.7
