The upgrade problem isn't that hard to solve. As soon as users want to use
something that doesn't work without the upgrade, the upgrades get installed.
Apple does a great job of this...
Every time they release an iOS upgrade I really don't want, they manage to
also release an update to software that I do care about. That software update
inherently requires me to accept the iOS upgrade.
