Comment 43 for bug 1033226

To be perfectly honest, in order to be able to defend this UX-wise atrocity, I think the persons responsible have a moral duty to explain in great detail to the developers and maintainers of every single other package manager - especially apt and dpkg - why they also need to implement this craziness themselves.

Furthermore, they need to make their argument in public, and when the inevitable (and justified) ridicule has died down, they need to be called to order and fix this, in order for update-manager to, at a minimum, make a giant leap forward in order to at least be on par with windows (which allows "restart later" where applicable), if they aren't going to aim for anything approaching the usual, better, UX of Linux proper...

If the continuing failure to fix this issue doesn't, failure to justify the need in excruciating and convincing detail, would, to my mind, justify virtual (and argumentatorial) torches and pitch forks.

Feel free to quote me for this at any given time!
