>From my discussions in person at the last sprint, it would be useful to have User-Agent information that lets the server distinguish between interactive vs non-interactive clients (i.e.: unattended-upgrades) in order to tell u-u to go away and try later for cases when the server / Internet connection are saturated and delivering a poor QoS to all users due to events.
