Updates-on-login are
interesting, but I think fatally flawed because of
the common requirement to reboot after updates.
This is actually the case where update on login works best. Any other
time rebooting is totally interruption. You're working, you need to
decide whether or not rebooting is important enough, and then if you do
decide to reboot, you need to save all of your state, and actually do
the deed. Immediately after boot you don't have this problem. Instead
of starting to work and then being disturbed, you delay starting until
you can really start, without interruption.
's a fair point.
