I know a few people who initiate the shutdown process, and as they are in a hurry will leave the shutdown happening as they stuff the laptop in their bag. If the system carried on working in the bag - performing updates - which are often fairly intensive CPU/IO wise, there's the real possibility the laptop will overheat and become permanently damaged. If it was an option "Shutdown" / "Suspend" / "Shutdown with updates" then one can clearly make the choice whether to install or not on that occasion. I think the Windows way of doing it is worth looking at, but with the default to be "Shutdown" and not "Shutdown with updates".
