Do people happen to upgrade dozens of packages in one go?  If that
happens, won't this change in behavior annoy people?  E.g., if the
list is VERY long, we by default show only its last portion that the
mini-window can accommodate after resizing it to the limit, so the
"Upgrade" part might not be visible at all.

Did you consider making this opt-in?
