Optional is supposed to mean 'optional', so if optional means 'required' then that sounds like a bug.

That said, the optional update notice will pester each time you log in until you actually update, and usually LL will promote an optional update to be required after a day or two if it demonstrates successful bug fixes or improvements with no known bad side effects.
