I see two options here:

1) connman is not restarted, instead user is required to reboot
2) connman is restarted during upgrade, user does not need to reboot

Option 1 is safe but slow, reboot always takes time and then you have to
restart all the applications etc which is extremely annoying.

Option 2 is faster but there's no way for the user to cancel the network
disconnection if she so desires. For example, she might have an ongoing
voip call or similar while doing the upgrade. I personally find this
option less annoying and would prefer it myself, but I'm not sure this
is still the best option for all the users.

Currently, if you have lots of packages to upgrade, the connman restart
takes way too long. connman is stopped during early phases and started
again during end of the upgrade process. We could make it faster by just
restarting connman after upgrade and stopping it doing upgrade and that
would make option 2 even more preferable.

Thoughts?
