Pray tell how does being "quite well etablished" translate into being competent sysadmins and ensuring that they don't get compromised and won't end up pushing a whole load of crap on my box on the next update?

That is an argument against literally every updater or automatic check for updates. It applies equally to Chocolatey and to any auto-updater they could have used for Atom. Please go back and find a better reason.

I am not making up reasons, so you can keep "go and find a better one" to yourself.

There are no bulk auto-updaters on Windows except for Windows Update, which is professionally provisioned. If Chocolatey wants to act as one, it needs to measure up.
