@lograh that's pretty much what I do these days, though mainly because I keep forgetting to do the actual install even after a hundred prompts.
I'm not deep enough into the Apple ecosystem to really care about most new user-level features, and indeed I'm quite set on avoiding getting too into it because I'm quite convinced I will, one day, run a Linux desktop and use Apple only for portable needs.
The only major obstacle at the moment is Lightroom, actually…
