Comment 60 for bug 1033226

This was mentioned here almost 59+1 times already but anyway, it seems that it needs to be said again. The soft requirement to restart was one of the Ubuntu selling points. Removing the "Restart later" button (which was the defaut) accompanioned then by soft reminder -- a red turn off button (in Ubuntu 12.04) is a terrible mistake which will disappoint current Ubuntu users and will not atract new users (if they like the MS Windows behavior they will stay with MS Windows and will not move to Ubuntu just to experience the same forced update/restart policy). The security concerns should be expresed by soft reminders such as red turn off button (or check box "I'm avare of the risk" + check box "Mark restart later as defaut button").

From the fact that still in Ubuntu 13.10 it is possible to quit the application from the panel without any further reminder of the need of restart (e.g. the mentioned red trun off button), although the close button is disabled and "Restart" (now) is the only and perhaps also selected button, can be infered that security is not such a issue here, but this is a just naive end user guess (which will turn into usage patter of course since it is how it goes).
