This check could be quite useful, e.g.
if (not mains powered && battery < 20 mins left) {
skip wpkg stuff
}
(no point turning on your laptop computer to find wpkg drains the last
bit of battery life on installing package updates you didn't need)
and/or maybe:
if (wireless network connection) {
skip wpkg stuff // so not to overload wireless network
}
Not sure how you could implement either one though.
