I think most people, looking at this interface for the first time, would ask: "What does it mean by 'distribution'?" It also seems messy to have the same operation (selecting/deselecting) on very similar items (Ubuntu archives, and other archives) handled at separate levels (outside a listbox vs. inside). > * update-manager "Automatic updates" tab: http://imgur.com/d59C4.png What is the reason for distinguishing "distribution updates" from "other updates"? > * software-center "Provided by Ubuntu" pane: http://imgur.com/c3EZr.png Are you suggesting that those checkboxes would be shown all the time? (Also, "Provided by Ubuntu" and "Commercial software" are mutually exclusive.) > * software-center PPA/authenticated source pane: http://imgur.com/kqugQ.png I don't understand what this is showing.
