Probably means that there is no dbus method to stop the check and therefore cannot be stopped with the current implementation of the dbus service from the system-image-updates. Therefore there is going to be some time in which this feature in system settings cannot be implemented until a patch is sent to the code that really deals with updates.

I have talked with barry and the check is an operation with several steps and adding such a feature (cancelling/stopping the check) might take some time to land. Is not impossible and we should do it, is just hard and will take time and a possible plan B should be considered.

Diego, am I wrong?
