I agree and have pointed this out in several emails concerning the issue although not in the detail in your email. But unless the update icon is brought back I don't see how this possibility can be avoided in a manner acceptable to users, and so far it appears the icon is not coming back. I have gotten into the habit of using the update manager when it appears as a form of update icon, closing it, and clicking on my installed icon to install any updates.
