I like the idea of being able to apply OS patches, however it sounds
like this functionality doesn't quite fit in the Application Manager
application so why not provide a separate "Upgrade Operating System" GUI
application that has all the checks and balances you need built in to it
without polluting the standard user-friendly Application Manager?
The "Upgrade OS" could be designed so that it applies all the latest
patches/meta packages or just a single patch/package, and would not
allow uninstallation of installed patches/packages.
There would be no relationship between an OS package and an application
package, so the latter couldn't result in the installation of the former.
Since you are looking to add restrictions to the Application Manager for
certain types of packages, it might make more sense to create a separate
and tailored GUI for the restricted packages.
Maybe I'm talking to myself, but the ability to upgrade the operating system seems to be
a misplaced function in a tool called "Application Manager".
