Yep. There's a growing desire of even open source projects to shove updates down your throat without any recourse for you as user. I see such software as trojan horse. Developers argue that you need much needed updates with security fixes, etc. Which is of course true. But there's no justification for denying user the freedom of controlling when to update. EDIT: But seeing this in Docker doesn't surprise me at all. It's this kind of project that knows better than you. Compare this with general purpose tools such as SSH, Git, gcc. There's nothing special about projects like Docker and Snap and they will get eventually replaced by projects that expose more knobs to fit (private) use cases of other users.
