that's my *personal* decision for *myself*, it doesn't mean that's the

Here's a good example of problems with (the current approach for)
online updates for Firefox:

   Flash plugin up to date but Firefox keeps telling me that I have the
   old version: http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/174210/2511

that may all be true *but* something like "please reboot your machine because there is an update for flash" is ridiculous and comes near to jokes about microsoft like "you moved you mouse - please reboot to make the change active"
