Because this bumps the docs version, I've marked it as draft; it can be approved now, but should only be merged when the 1.7.1 release is live (merging will just show this change on latest, but it still seems like best practice to me to avoid incorrect version information showing up anywhere).

As a side note, these switches are undocumented (not in man page, help output, or README). Since we're deprecating cron-apt, not fleshing this out any further, but just in case of any support questions about it:

-i: Run immediately
-s: Print to stdout

Looks great. Confirmed the apply-immediately links work as expected in a local docs build. 👍
