I prefer option (1) because it's the behavior I would want as a user. With
option (1), it's more obvious that new activity bundles have been
installed.  It's also more straightforward to implement.

Where "repeatedly" means "each time a Customization Stick is inserted".  I
do not imagine this happening more often than once a semester, i.e. very
infrequently.  It does not sound very inconvenient to me.  Remember, this
is the same frequency with which we anticipate that new OS releases will
be installed.

In fact, once we have automatic network activity updates, as recently
discussed, I suspect that customization sticks will be used very little.
