In a corporate deployment it is almost unacceptable to not be able to.
At the same time, I don't want to schedule a cron at 2 AM because people
might turn their system off. I also don't want to force it at boot
because people might want to do it later because they have a job to do
and can't spare the time.
A decent ability to require updates to be installed that are more than a
week old, and to automatically install/reboot when not logged on, would
be awesome. That's what we do with our Windows desktops and it works
nearly perfectly.
