I wish Google update would instead just go away.

The first thing i began to speculate as i finished reading the official post was that this could become a windows package management system. Since operating systems that dont suck have this built in, this could turn into one for Windows. If you own a software project, you can choose to use Google Updater to keep it updated. Of course, this isn't possible right now, but Google seems to have left the future of the project open-ended and this seems totally possible. Thoughts?
