In my opinion, we shouldn't even prompt the user to update apps if updating
the app doesn't require a reboot - we should just update.
Android updates apps automatically if you're on wifi and charging, I think
it works well. Users can disable auto-update for individual apps if they
need to.
This is the kind of thinking that made my laptop blow through my
cellphone data plan limit in about fifteen minutes while I was
tethering.
