This seems pretty sensible. 

I'm not really excited about a lot of required rebooting, though -- I think
that might be worse than the disease. We should have most of the information
needed to determine if a reboot is really necessary, shouldn't we? I hope we
can move to that in the future for a nicer user experience.

It would also be nice, in theory, to have an "install on next reboot" option
for non-critical updates which do require a reboot.
