1) you shouldn't assume people are running updatemanager or the cron refresh thing 2) we specifically made the change to have the system automatically refresh catalogs during install, etc. some months ago 3) changing this behaviour would mean the cli/gui no longer have consistent behaviour However, I could be convinced that you could skip this if you perform a catalog refresh at least once at some point after startup or on the first install/update. We should not be relying on any other program (such as updatemanager) that may or may not be running to do this. Arguably, if the performance of refresh catalog is the issue, I'd rather fix that. It should be a relatively quick operation. Looking for feedback from other team members.
