I would like to see logic like this:

In other words, you want to crippled end-user usability to NULL.

I would not be dwelling to much on the usability topic since we have bigger issues to fry then end-user usability with minimal installation footprint for cloud/containers/servers which can be easily solve with same concept as is behind "command-not-found" for man-pages as in "man-page-not-found" and move cloud/container/server administration into the realm of "install on demand" ( which arguably we should be moving more towards at on the 21 century rather then rely on plethora of installation commands and package names ) and ofcourse we would remove the silliness of having to confirm the installation since I as an administrators have already made the gesture that I need the command or the man page when I write foo or man foo so I should not have to confirm it to.
