Deliberate misdirection then; got it.

I'm sorry you're sad, but comparing plan freaking 9 to an operating system
backed by a megacorp with a blue-sky r&d budget is silly and in no way
productive.  Your magic update process completely ignores the question of
whether clients even *want* any given patch installed on their system,
which is the actual issue under discussion here.
