Even in Europe and UK, most of plans have some kind of top, whether
download or speed. I don't think auto-updating is a good idea. Saying
that other operating systems do it it's not a valid argument. Windows
does a lot of c**** and it would be a very bad idea to copy it into
Fedora.The point of using Linux systems is keeping control of your own
computer, if everything will be hidden and automatic without even a
warning or a prompt... the whole point is lost.

Yeah, this is basically my conclusion. I strongly doubt it'll ever be
possible to achieve an acceptable level of magic detection here. Even
connections that aren't *tethered* could certainly have data transfer
caps for one reason or another. Just assuming you can go ahead and
download as many GB of updates as you like without any kind of prior
warning or even notification while the download is ongoing is a
really
bad idea.
