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.
