As long as it's not so automatic one has no knowledge of what it's
actually doing! I've grown so paranoid about automatic updates and
so on that I'm probably irrational by this point. [Well, with Microsoft,
paranoia is probably justified...] But even things like Ubuntu's "Symantic"
usually drive me crazy.
Don't know Courgette, but if it's transparent to the user it could
be good.
