Not "am doing": "have done". It's quite different.
A big part of the prompt is to ask whether we should do it *now*.

I doubt it (it's supposed to be something that occurs rarely, so muscle
memory probably wouldn't come into play), but in any case I don't think
it's a problem if it builds into someone's muscle memory.

It doesn't do asynchronously, currently.
It only does it in response to something like `M-x package-list-packages`.
[ And IIUC it currently doesn't do it in response to `M-x
package-install` even it probably should. ]
