I didn't mean to imply that Arthur implemented something entirely unwanted.

When that happens, will the user still be in the list-packages buffer?
Or will they have an opportunity to quit and then be surprised by the
yes-no install prompt?
What you're describing, looking at other applications, sounds more like
an automated system to download *updates*, so that when the user does
M-x list-packages, they can immediately install the updates. However,
that might not be the best idea for us - the MELPA packages, for
instance, update *very* often.
