6 I changed the line to just be plain etc-update and it worked fine after
7 that, but again it didn't request any input, just run straight thru.
8
9 One question about the behavior tho. Say I have pending updates for
10 etc-update, and some of them I want to reject, but I haven't run
11 etc-update and put them in yet.
12
13 Then I upgrade baselayout, and it (at least looking at the code)
14 deprotected all the changes and forces ALL changes in without question.
15
16 Surely this is not a desirable effect?
17 It should either:
18 1. force in only it's own changes, and leave other stuff alone
19 2. behave like normal etc-update for everything
20 3. refuse to apply itself until the user has done etc-update
21
22 +1 for #3 here, +0.5 for #2
