 Note that cron isn't interactive, so it doesn't matter if we split the
operations anyway (and I firmly believe we should). Having "background
downloads by default" would be a major feature win.
 Realistically the "install updates" code paths can and should be
running with the "no network" flags -- possibly with pre-built
transactions.
