I am not sure if those certs should be sped up.  As I stated, a hard crash like I am experiencing after the update does not impart confidence in this developer ability to not brick my series X.  

Has a game update ever bricked an entire console before? I'm not sure but if it does it's extremely rare.

That's the risk you're willingly taking by participating in an early access title, that it is going to be buggy, you're literally playing the game as it is being developed. These same warnings are displayed when people participate in the early access program for console OS updates too, shit can break, that is the risk which you as the consumer are taking.

Depends on how you define brick.  At worse updates have caused major issues with Xbox in the past but mostly MS is very good with their updates and that has not happen in a while, probably because they do a extensive cert phase to insure that does not happen.  This is why I am saying no short cuts in the process or the need to feel pressure to speed up the process for a popular game and miss something that has a huge impact on the system.  You will be surprised how easy it is for a developer to screw up a patch that can have system damaging effects outside of just their own game.
