[Bug 723826] Re: Installer – The option to 'Download updates' when installing Ubuntu should be selected by default

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

@JohnLea

All decisions with respect to install has been justfied in the Installer
design document were we can track the history of all decisions made and
also keep notes as to why we did what when.

With respect to "Downloading updates" checked by default the current
Install design specifcation says.

"""
The download available updates checkbox will never be made to install updates as well.  For much the same reason behind not pivoting into the installed system without rebooting, we need to start the user in a known good state.  This means not installing package updates that could potentially break the system.  Equally important is that it's difficult to debug the installer when we do not have a clear picture of the end state.
"""
Can you please comment on how this technical reasoning should be resolved?

And what are we trying to achieve here? A secured system with updates
upon first boot or no "update window" upon first boot? For example
installing Precise using the pressed release image in 12.04 will results
in significant amount of updates, possibly even more than CD size to be
downloaded.

Instead, for example we can pre-download the updates while performing
the OS installation, but not apply them, and instead apply them after we
boot for the first time. And work from there.
