Comment (by wlindley):

 Users of Ubuntu 11.04, just for example, will not get Firefox 4 as part of
 their Update.  Ubuntu tells them they are running the latest version of
 that generation of Firefox.  This is going to be a real support problem
 for system administrators, or web hosting providers, who will constantly
 be pestered by hundreds of novice users looking for help upgrading their
 systems -- when, quite possibly, they cannot or should not do it
 themselves.

 You are putting the support burden not on the users but on the site
 administrators.  As a web host provider with fifty clients and hundreds of
 users, this is going to cause a serious waste of my time.  Please at least
 give administrators a way to disable this "feature."
