Comment 4 for bug 747172

Heya Matt! Thanks a lot for your branch. Definitely it's a cool approach. For Natty, however, I think we are just too close to final release to for a change like this one. Mainly, I think we don't want to simply disable the Install/Remove buttons without providing some kind of indication in the UI for why these buttons are disabled. As you note, a statusbar message or something would be needed. But since we are well past UI and string freeze, adding such an indication isn't really an option for Natty.

Let's revisit this for Oneiric though. I like your idea of building an offline queue, let's discuss that at UDS or sooner.
