Does the "opt out" update feature really exist?

Please say yes. Please oh please say yes.

I've read around the internet that there's an "opt out" option for updates, where you can manually download updates without waiting for carriers to roll them out, at the expense of losing your warranty.

Does such a thing really exist? Or am I just dreaming of a perfect world without OEM bottlenecks (again)?

Unfortunately I don't think so, but I'm not totally sure

That's too bad if it doesn't. OEM bottlenecks are a problem here too I suppose.

It never happened. Probably beause MS bowed to carrier's demands or threats.

Well that sucks. Hopefully OEMs won't be complete [language] with WP updates like they are with Android's.
