I don't like this behavior either. My mom uses Fedora, but I don't let her perform updates herself because our updates are not bullet-proof and I don't want her to end up with a broken system. I always do it myself and check if everything works afterwards when I visit her. On one hand, we don't have any GUI for upgrades arguing that we don't have a reliable mechanism for it to expose upgrades to users, and on the other hand we allow anyone to perform updates who are also not 100% reliable. I can imagine that sysadmins of classroom deployments may be unpleasantly surprised by this as well. They are supposed to look at updates settings more in detail, but I don't think one expects that the system behave this way by default.
