Surprised more people do not clearly see how [badly] this could be used as an attack vector. Tracking individuals by subtle transient modulation etc. More appalling is that the Tor Browser is also affected. Nothing should every be updated or changed unless the user gives a command. External "plugin" updates could be trigged by apt or something along those lines.
