To be clear, there's no reason why you can't update dependencies in advance of a cooldown period. The cooldown is an enforced policy that you can choose to override as needed.
(This also doesn't apply to vulnerabilities per se, since known vulnerabilities typically aren't evaluated against cooldowns by tools like Dependabot.)
No you can't, the cooldown period is started by the new upstream release. So if you follow this "rule" you're guaranteed to be behind the latest upstream release.
I don't understand what you mean. The cooldown period is something you decide to enforce; you can always override it. It's your prerogative as a responsible engineer to decide the boundaries of policy enforcement.
I mean, you can do anything you want. But you're inventing a new definition of "cooldown" different than TFA...
