True! i typically don't need Helm updates that urgently, and 
restart either Emacs or my system on a regular basis, so i don't 
particular notice this issue.

Nevertheless, i would still suggest that people try to use the 
package system as much as possible, and only work around it when 
absolutely necessary (such as needing Helm updates as rapidly as 
possible).
