Would this just be for major updates--perhaps those than cause a change in the firmware revision number--or would this be any time a "system" package gets an upgrade? My thought is that it might be worthwhile to have a constant warning written at the bottom of the "Check for Updates" dialog in the Application manager. A user should really backup before any update, but prompting with a dialog that frequently will only encourage users to ignore it. Major updates should definitely come with a dialog, and as this occurs less frequently perhaps people might actually read it and heed the warning ;) The trade off, I suppose, is such a constant warning will take up screen real estate.
