If anybody tries to silently upgrade my machine, I refuse to use the whole system. No way, no how. I refuse to do it _EVEN_MORE_ if the person who decides that it's a "security fix" is not the distribution maker, but some random package creator. Sorry, Dan, but you're simply not that trustworthy. The fact that you even _think_ you should be that trustworthy is totally irrelevant, and somewhat scary. Crazy.
