The upgrade can last one hour (more or less). I'm not going to wait
for upgrade and looking at black screen (albeit with progress bar).
When upgrading - I save critical work in progress, and start reading
articles from my RSS queue. And if Firefox crash (which happens very
very rarely) I lost nothing, but get one hour of my life for free.
I have had some of my arm systems take 6-8 hours and even more to update
storage is a class 10 microsd card. the system was Fedora 21 and about
2-3 weeks worth of updates to be applied, about 700 packages.

To be constructive: I can imagine displaying dialog:
Going to upgrade your system. Do you want to do it offline?
* Yes - most safe way
* No - there is non-trivial chance that some running application
would crash (proceed on your own risk)
And let the user decide if he is power user or not.
