Under Global Config > Updates > Checkfor qube updates > Except for…, I have added three qubes.
You would think this should remove them from being listed as needing updates under Qubes OS Update. But they are still listed.
May be the “Additional update check” which is on by default (in Qubes Update → “Cog”).
They won’t check for new updates but that won’t prevent them to be outdated, see:
qvm-prefs <QUBE_NAME> updateable

I’ve encountered the same thing and @parulin’s solution was what worked for me back in the day. This may be worth making an issue on the issue tracker for, as the UX is confusing.

Or a better documentation? (needs-doc & needs-issue added)
