As long as there is a way to opt out, I am for automatic updates. It makes it easier. less hassle on my part, and the everyday person generally wouldn’t update anyway.
Being said, I do think it should be mandatory that the operating system provider supplies a way to have a rollback if an update fails, and I also think that if an update is done that prevents the actual boot of the system, It should be able to detect that and roll itself back. That honestly is the only thing that I really really liked about Windows is while it forced your updates on you. If the update failed to do something, it would catch it, roll it back, and it would be like nothing happened. It wouldn’t stop it from trying to install that same update again, but it at least wouldn’t leave you with an unbootable system.
