Holy Zod, no. No no no. Very no. 

There will be no more silent updating of packages without explanation
or at least a *chance* for testing. 

Yeah, I know this makes putting out updates slightly harder, but in my
opinion the fact that we ever allowed this at all was a massive
oversight, not a design feature.

We will have to work slightly harder in order to Do The Right Thing for
our users, to ensure package sanity and overall distribution stability.
Those are our goals, and I hope you'll agree that they're worth working
for.
