Uhm. am I missing something. Aren't we talking about reboot requests
that PK is spawning and I can choose to cancel in the UI interaction
because I know better instead of mandatory reboots?

No, we're talking about requiring fewer reboots for normal users.

Prompting a user like this teaches them to ignore recommendations. This
isn't a good thing.

there are no mandatory reboots in PackageKit, you are notified what packages
will cause a request to reboot and you can exit the process without
rebooting!!!!!!  Or you can remove the packages from the update processes
and install when convenient for you.

yep. but all of that assumes I know what I am doing, and the people that this is aimed at don't. windows requires fewer reboots now.
