Hmmm...what about the VPN plugin I didnt ask for?
Why again did you put this in the UI front and center without just asking me "Hey, we've got our own VPN. Want to pin it to your tool bar?"
No we need to figure out how to tell our clients what to do with it or findout how to automatically get rid of it.

You don’t understand business. Your own reaction is the best display for why they should not and did not implement this as a one-time question just as you proposed. As you proposed, notably, so that you have the easiest possible way to disregard it.

You don’t understand business.

May be. Bur I understand user satisfaction.
And I, for instamce, don't like being bombarded with "HEY! :D WE'VE GOT THIS NEW TOOL YOU MIGHT WANNA TRY"
