+i agree...
+
+also people use update and upgrade, but it does not have the same meaning.
+
+the things being talked about above are really beyond the point. the sysadmin
+in question can set it up for the user however he wants...
+
+EXCEPT, he can't distinguish between updates and upgrades... or even guest
+users having access to updates and upgrades.
+
+my current proposal is to:
+
+1. have a separate setting between allowing updates and upgrades.
+2. change upgrades to allow root user only
+3. disable guest user to have update possibility.
+
+i think these are sensible defaults... &lt;--- i'm talking about defaults here,
+people can still set it up whatever they want.
+
+and this option allows everyone to be somewhat happy.
+
+does someone disagree? if so, why?
