Someone asked what the average delay between first Beta update and then before it lands on Stable. I can’t say that for all updates, just listed all Beta updates since 24th of June. But then for fun I also listed all other non-beta Regular and Major updates as well.
Let’s look at the recent PC Steam Client non-beta Update news history: https://store.steampowered.com/news/collection/steam/
First set filters (untick [ ] Steam Client Beta to see non-beta updates only):
Note, the Regular Updates are the big updates I think. In the below list, I list all small updates until last Regular one, then continue listing Regular only. Ah, while looking through the list I found there are also Major Updates. I think these are the biggest ones. After first Major, I will only list Major too:

“NO MORE OLDER POSTS FOUND.” I reached the bottom, just like in real life. The duration for Regular and longer times are calculated with https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html . BTW there were no Ai involved in making this post.
What is the conclusion? An average makes no sense here, as Stable Small Updates can be 5 days or up to 42 days. At least since last summer of this year.
