I couldn't care less of non-techical people that cannot be educated to understand what an upgrade is and how and when to accomplish it.

Fedora has SELinux enabled for default, which is the _right_ way to protect system from malware (assuming that such malware exists, I am not yet see it in the wild). Also Fedora has an icon tray and a pop up appears when a secuirity update is available, and the user _must_ _choose_ whether to perform it.

Which is why many people just disable SELinux when installing Fedora, disable soon after when it becomes too much effort to maintain, or just apply the recommended 'fix' to get those stupid messages away.

Btw, Vista got backslashed due to excessive annoyance. Someone want to repeat this mistake with Linux? The more system annoys and fools the users, the less trust it will have. And how can I recommend or use system to which I do not trust? I will surely abandon such system. After all, it's my computer for me and I have to control it's behavior. Not I am for my computer so it can be allowed to dictate me what I have to do right now...

It could SUGGEST what I may want to do. Nothing more.
