> Long story short, I think it's a good thing that the user has his own profile which isn't magically updated and doesn't magically pick up things not in the user profile - except when it's already in the store bitwise-identical. That way, if he needs some application for work it will not randomly break and he can be sure that it will do what it did yesterday. If he wants to update, he updates. Otherwise not. His choice.
Agreed, though in this case (GNOME), we’re pretty much talking about
single-user machines.

OK, why not. There’s still the issue that it will make download times
and disk size requirements longer (a problem we should fix, but this
won’t happen overnight.)
