@Mathew:
PLS , could u just answer one question...
when i'm working i get a notification to update > so i update thinking its would just work in the background > but after the update it asks for a restart > i choose to "restart later" > i'd be reminded again after 1 day to restart, when of course it would be the same time i'm working > so i choose *again* to "restart later" > next day ,
and so happens for every day for a few days , i dont restart[i usually set the system to hibernate/suspend]
but i keep getting this reminder at the most awkward time while i'm working,
*so now would i get any other updates* ? what if these NEW updates are supposed to patch up the previous update for which i havent restarted yet? *would the update install properly and not break the system /cause a crash*???
wouldnt this problem be avoided if there was a reminder, which reminded me after my work was over, to restart?
there is a huge defect in this method that devs have overlooked... there are several users who dont shutdown the system often but keep it running, often bragging that they didnt restart for nearly 45days...!
i do understand that u are the aesthetics side of this and not from the technical aspect , and u cannot guarantee, the technical problems here, but *what have u planned for such a scenario*?
because when we spread the word to other new users, to try out ubuntu, we should know the defects in it too , to warn them.... either that they should remember the notification or to not close the dialogue window...!
