Absolutely agreed. That's why I'd like to see the user told what he's getting into. The package description of gnome-software says: Software Center for GNOME Software lets you install and update applications and system extensions. ... How is anyone supposed to realize that this will include an automatic download of updates? And no, I didn't leave the best part out, the rest of the description is pretty technical. > I hope you are not seriously suggesting we should present users with > choices all the time, especially choices with serious security > consequences that most users are unable to appreciate. Not sure what you mean with "all the time", but I do believe we have way less important debconf questions than "Do you want to download updates automatically?"
