I don't really see the need of rollback for the user. For sure, it
can't be something to be used as easily as CTRL+Z (undo/redo). So if
it has to exit it can be something in a menu.
In addition, I don't see a lot of things that should be rollbacked:
installl/remove and enable/disable repository ? In this case, I think
the client can implement that himself. If the user install a package,
he can add in a menu: 'Uninstall foo'. If it has been uninstalled, it
will be'Reinstall foo'. The same thing for repositories.

What do you think about this ? :)
