I'm also not too fond of those systems (especially Windows Update) so
hopefully we can do something better. The main point will be to allow
easy updating of Haiku when the user wants, with optional and gentle
reminders when new updates are available.

Courgette is really just a method for making small binary updates that
only change what needs to be changed. As compared to massive hundred
megabyte updates put out by Apple for example. I'm sure we will have
to add some other amount of infrastructure and will have plenty of
room to make exactly what we want.
