Indeed - if only you could incorporate an electrocute button which goes off everytime a developer goes to hit the "Build patch" button
Also, for those using steam - you can stop it auto-updating the game (which lessens the annoyance).
Right click game -> Properties -> Updates (tab) -> "Do not automatically install updates" from the drop down box.
