Daniel, I don't see an option to automatically/silent install or prompt
before installing.
When I brought up a similar line of discussion a while back, I think the
line put out was "These are security updates, they are good for you, you
don't need to know about it, it will just happen!".
I can, sort of, see the point, but if there are still people using SM
1.x.x because they don't like some of the additional/subtractions, there
might also be those that want to stick with 2.0.4 and not upgrade, but
they don't get that option.
Why? 2.0.x security updates don't introduce any functional changes, only
security and stability updates as well as fixes to annoying actual bugs.
I see no reason why anyone would want to stay on more broken releases
with the same functionality.
Perhaps because I don't want YOU to change MY system? Especially
without asking me. This is the kind of thing for which Microsoft and
other Big Brother type entities have been criticized. That an Open
Source initiative should do it is, well, strange, to say the least.
And, I will say, MS has given me the choice. Windows can be set to
alert me to updates and ask me if I want to apply them. And I have the
choice.
It is MY computer. It is MY software. How much more simply can this be
expressed?
Do not screw with my system. Simply ask me. How hard is that?
