  1. For now, and since it's special exclusive update, KB3177467 does not supersede KB3020369
    and if you uninstalled/did not install  KB3020369, WU will request KB2533552 explicitly (in addition to the famous SP1 entry)

    i don't know if KB3188988 is useful or not, but as i said about KB3184143, i take is as reqular USB update
    btw,  KB3188988 require KB3020369 as prerequisite


     

  2. You can, but i think it would cause confliction issues
    and you will have two entries in "Programs and Features"

    ------------

    as for the absolute path "C:\Windows\" in addon, this is restriction be microsoft
    already tested, you can change some to %windir%, but changing them all will cause the pack to have errors or fail
    some REG_SZ values will not take variables

    other than that, Windows OS always defaults and recommended to C:
    whom want to force other drive letter, should expect errors
     

  3. Because KB3172605 does not supersede all KB3161608 components with new versiononly some components have newer version, but the rest are the same as  KB3161608 (specially WU Client components)
    and for CBS stack, this makes whole KB3161608 not fully superseded

    but of course, in the term of rollups, KB3172605 replaces KB3161608

    this is similar to Windows 10 cumulative updates mechanism
    each new cumulative contain whatever the previous cumulatives have + new components or newer version for some components
     

  4. Convenience rollup KB3125574 supersede both WU client .cabs and WU client update KB3138612

    similarly,  June 2016 rollup KB3161608 supersede them both as well

     

    yes i know that WU checks the state of WUClient-SelfUpdate .cabs on each search session
    but it completely runs fine without them, and WU itself mention that they are not required
    WindowsUpdate.log -> SelfUpdate is NOT required.

    however as usual WU mess, it asks for  KB3138612 because it's GDR, while  KB3125574 &  KB3161608 are LDR
    that's the same reason why around 8 old security updates show up in WU after installing  KB3161608
