One of my main "selling" points when encouraging my friends and family
to switch to Linux (and Ubuntu in particular) has been that restarts are
seldom necessary - hitherto proudly displayed by the "Restart Later"
button.

Incidentally, I'm not aware of any equivalent to the workaround
mentioned in #2 under Cinnamon, so thus far I've ps ax|grep'ed update-
manager and kill'ed the pid.

I use the terminal quite a lot, so I *can* continue to do this, but the
symbolic value of trying to coerce me into rebooting when I might just
as well choose a better, later, time to do so, by making me to jump
through hoops in order to exercise this choice, gives me horror
flashbacks to the times of Windows 95, which was what prompted me to
turn to Linux in the first place.

If that's not a bug, usability- or otherwise, I don't know what is...
