   I uninstall it, because I object to the default that every user can see   
   and trigger updates. It also is not a good idea to have it by default on   
   a laptop that can be used in metered Internet connections.   
      
   Worse, Gnome had the trick to download the things in advance, by   
   default, before you accepted them, with the goal of saving time when you   
   decided to click "update".   
      
   If you go the uninstall route, you also have mark it blacklisted or   
   banned, or a dependency would install it again.
