Well I thought that the updates for this specific phone came straight from google? Wasn't that one of the big pros for this phone because it was a google flagship phone? I figured if that's the case, the updates to this phone will be much more often than waiting 3 months for Verizon to send out the updates. Yeah I know that roms update phones much much more often...
But that being said, I'm mainly just trying to enjoy stock for a while longer because I know once I root and flash, it'll be a never ending cycle. I'm enjoying stock the way it is now and I'd rather not have to do backups every other day for the time being and just enjoy the phone as is.
