anyone who travels regularly, and is in the habit of swapping SIM cards to local prepaid ones with (limited) data allowance, would disagree.

I'm personally OK with the dbus calls to prevent auto-updates for the number of days I'll be abroad, but a) not every user is comfy with xterm/script files and b) I'm lazy enough that having a UI is way better than remembering the dbus syntax or the name of my own script fle that contains the dbus command :-)
