Drifting off topic... I'd really like to be able to limit the networks
that this happens on. Specifically, I _very much_ don't want it to
happen when I'm tethered to my cell phone, where data is limited and
expensive. Or at an airport or conference, where bandwidth is terrible.
And while it's mostly not _my_ problem, it'd be polite to not do it at
coffee shops and etc.

That'd be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1112230, plus
getting support for that in Software.
