This worries me quite a bit as people often install Fedora on computers of 
relatives and friendsin default configuration
& instruct the users to just "press the update button when it shows up".I've 
done that a couple times.
This has been working quite fine so far, so it would be bad to loose this 
capability, as the actualusers in question are
definitely not power users and will not be able to fix any of these issuesby 
themselves. 
Also from their point of view it's pretty much Fedora breaking if if a specific 
module is ta fault.And well, they are
not really wrong if a default Fedora install simply breaks upgrades at arandom 
point in the future...
