This is also a potential concern for people who have systems that get auto-powered off if their UPS is close to depleted. Instead of a predictable shutdown time, you can find your system in a lengthy upgrade running while the UPS is about to die. Heck, even people who are running low on their laptop batteries are at risk. Auto-installing updates on shutdown is a terrible idea and should NOT be the default behaviour of any modern OS. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
