I'd be for merging those two but "Online update" should stay alone (maximally there could be an option to run "Online update configuration" and/or "Automatic online update" from there).
What about re-using lslezak's trick for running repository manager from package manager and add 'Configure automatic online update' and 'Online update configuration' as menu options to patch manager (online_update)? (while keeping them as standalone module with two tabs, of course) Btw, I'd be strongly for renaming the latter to 'Register | configure update repository' because 'Online update configuration' is so generic term that it doesn't really tell one what to expect of this module ... Btw2, isn't now (as feature #302990 is being implemented - adding update repositories from repository manager) 'Online update configuration' aka 'Register | configure update repository' a little bit redundant?
