The update will automatically download, but I have to manually install it right? Don't want to risk losing homebrew until there is confirmation it's safe.

Yep, shouldn't be forced after it downloads. I don't think Nintendo will touch the vWii much aside from the quick boot option, but I'll wait until others confirm.

I had to go to the system settings and check for updates before it would download. Was expecting a notification. 5 minutes left.

Fuck that shit I don't put that crap on my consoles.

I haven't had the chance to really use my wiiU yet because of complications recently with my housing situation but I hope this update doesn't remove the hbc from wiimode.
Otherwise I hope they continue with updates and improvements for people, nice.

Oh it's nothing against you or people who do. I just don't put that stuff on my consoles and only put official stuff on it.
