Manager: Why does the installer require so much interaction with the user?
Dev: That's part of the OS protection efforts.
Manager: Can we make it require less interaction?
Dev: Not without hacking together our own too that once installed will allow the computer to run any script with root privileges. That's a bad idea.
Manager: If it means the user doesn't have to do anything, then do it.
Dev: But it is a bad bad bad thing.
Manager: meh

Dev: Sure (with an evil grin), we can do something
Manager: Great!!
