We do not give nearly enough information in our updates for the user to
make any informed decision here. Just tagging it as 'enhancement' isn't
enough. So, it most of the time does boil down to:

1) they accept updates in general, and they get it on some random day
2) they wonder, think updates may change things. Therefore updates are scary,
   and should be avoided by the user.

Neither of these are great.
