I think this is a GWM gateway module update. No one seems to know what it does.
Google for the win:

The GWM acts as a central gateway to translate messages across all 4 vehicle controller area networks (CAN), and vice versa. The GWM is the only module on this vehicle with this ability. The GWM also serves as a termination module for each of the networks to which it is connected.

So in layman's terms. The gateway module is HAL?

It's very strange Ford has been sending an email regarding this OTA, prior to actually sending the OTA to the vehicle. @Snakebitten had this as well. Don't worry HAL will take care of it for you. ?
It turns out that my truck did in fact receive the update, but it was in the barn and I would have only known by checking FordPass.

Still, desiring feedback would require me to know what the update addresses. How do I know if my GWM is working better than it was? ?

It would seem it IS! According to their info page, it is bound only on F150 trucks. How accurate is that info? I dunno, take it with a a grain of salt per se.

I think he meant no one knows what the update does.

this is not for you to know. I'm sure the GWM will send the feedback for you.

A question on software. I will be picking up my MY24 sometime in late October to early November, will it have all of the software updates when I pick it up or will I have to wait at the dealership (Granger) for all of the software updates or will the vehicle update while I'm driving home?

I don't think anyone can guarantee you whether the truck will arrive fully (100%) updated. Ford could have released a software update, for any one of the multiple modules that your truck is equipped with, while your truck was on the railway car.
