And you can do that. Just don't have pk DO the update.

There are lots of ways to get notifications of updates not using PK in the 
system.

And again, we're not talking about for the default everyday user.

does and does not need a reboot.

All I'm saying is - we've not taken away any option, the experienced user 
can do what they want.
