when I first tested the update system some ages ago I had asked the
author whether this could also be done by a cli app, and he was very
open to it. So I assume that if this solves 90% of people's concerns
then it wouldn't be difficult to have this pure-non-gui cli and just
add the announcement text to it.

I think one needs to allow for some time for things to iron out and
maybe accept that at the beginning there may be some inconveniences.

But the true thread on increasing QA is still failing its purpose
(announcements are just eye-candy). I'll restate that the only way to
do proper QA is to *force* all maintainers to use updates-testing. If
not even them test each-others packages, how can we ever expect Joe
and Jane to do so?
