Seems like a simple preference.

I do not see that as *necessarily* a bad thing. yast2 sw_single is a
pretty good installer. If I little thinger pops up and says, "Hey, you
have some updates. This is what they are......  <details>.    Click
<here> to run the software updater." then I'd be happy with that.

I'd also prefer to see a preference "automatically install all updates
that do not require a reboot.", but it's just that - a preference.
