This is something that can be fixed down to one reboot with engineering
effort. I believe someone (Stephen?) already has a proof of concept.
This would be good to explore further in the short term.

We've already decided that updates cannot be done safely without at
least one reboot, so let's not bother with requests to remove that. We
now have updates that download in the background, so time required for
that isn't a problem anymore either. But we don't have them applying in
the background yet. Atomic Workstation makes that possible -- then the
update gets applied instantaneously on reboot -- but it might be a
while before Atomic Workstation approaches the usability of normal
Workstation.
