I don't think it'd necessarily be a good decision, sometimes CVE are actively exploited and need quick patching.

A better safety net would be to require active 2FA proof for every package update.

As if supply chain attacks could have been prevented by 2fa or passkeys always.

You want delays by x days because supply chain attacks get caught very often within 1-2 days. And if you really really want to make an exception for a zero day then that's no problem and you can still quick patch by exclusion of that rule. They don't contradict in a unsolvable problem. You want both, you get both.

How do you know what's a zero day fix?

(You write something)

So then you have to check every package's updates and decide if you update, yes?

If you need a quick patch, you pass another parameter to turn off the 1 day. 1 day delay will prevent more problems than it makes.

so this parameter can be passed by the attackers also thus making your point pointless

The idea of the parameter is stopping the attackers from getting on your system in the first place

that parameter cannot be set by a package, you only can set it
