So...I guess we are done with Ubuntu then. This is terrible. We use Ubuntu on systems where bad things can happen if software becomes unstable due to an unwanted update. In other words, nobody, nobody would ever even dream of installing any software of updating the OS without authorization. And this authorization would require regression testing in order to verify the changes would not compromise the system. I don't understand how anyone working on Ubuntu could think this is a good idea. To be clear, if Linux (let's say Ubuntu) is going to become a viable OS for the masses it probably needs something like this. I get it. However, there is no reason to break the traditional stability of Linux and even risk creating danger. Disabling this mode should be as simple as one setting. In fact, it should be offered as a choice during installation with a full explanation. This is where they could make a pitch for the functionality. Those of us who don't need it (or can't use it for other reasons) can opt out and move on. Consumers, sure, I don't care.
