That would really have to be with the user's consent. In some cases, an
upgrade would render the user's computer inoperative (e.g. a newer
release requiring more RAM than they have), or otherwise useless (such
as they used software that isn't a part of the next release, or it won't
work on it).
Agreed: but aren't updates are always with the user's consent, unless explicitly
enabled with the -y option? For instance on yum or dnf:
we get:
.....
Total download size: 465 M
Is this ok [y/d/N]:
Btw, perhaps this thread should be called something else, other than "Biting the
bullet" that is not obvious to what the discussion on Fedora is.
