Yeah, I was thinking about this too. The ability to cherry-pick what
updates you want is probably what we want. Though, even that may be a
stretch. But it's probably useful in instances where the user have some
kind of dep problem; it happens even on stable distros especially if the
user throws 3rd party repos and RPM's into the mix.
