Since it has come up recently, I figured I'd briefly mention that
some
people in the desktop team, QE, and release engineering had a few
lunchtime chats about our update process. I tried to write down some
of what we talked about:

I later found out that there are a number of different initiatives
underway that may help with this problem. So, that is good news.
Interested to hear your thoughts.
Here is my biggest annoyance with updates: I get usually asked about
them right after I start the computer and have other important things to
do. I check the total size and if it is small enough, I apply it but if
is large (for example including an
openoffice.org update), I postpone
the update, as I need the full bandwidth (for cheeking mails, reading
news, whatever). Good thing we have Delta RPMS, and the size is usually
much smaller than reported...
If the update needs a restart, I *never* do it right away: I started the
computer because I have things to do with it, not waste a couple of
minutes with a reboot.
