As a new user, I would much prefer this model *if* there is also a
web-based updating module. It is quite difficult to keep up with
multiple streams of updates unless there is a single UI which:
* Checks if installed apps are up to date for the installed ownCloud
release.
* Checks if apps from the store are compatible with the installed
ownCloud release.
* Manages installation of updates (preferred, but not strictly required.)

If this is not available, I prefer the apps known to work with the
ownCloud version be bundled with the upgrade.
