Hello, I'd like to share my view on the issue, since I consider it a
drammatically serious one ;-).

As many people I loved the orange icon (and I loved the choice of icon
as well), and I'm much concerned about pop unders.

* If I am right, the issue with the orange icon is that not noticeable.
* The issue with popups, is they're intrusive. So time limits had to
be put on (the once a week limit)

Couldn't the two solution be used together ?

The orange icon appears immediately. The update manager pop ups after,
say, 2 days and maximum once a week.
That way novices would get the popup and expert users are likely to
never see it or at least see it less.
A big plus one from me. It still clutters up the notification area a bit, but I think that's worth allowing users to install updates at their own leisure before resorting to a pop-under.
