12 Umm, in a sense opengl-update does need interaction - even if it's only
13 passing command line parameters to the proggy. env-update is a different
14 story; you just run it and it does it's thing. Personally, I would feel that
15 opengl-update would be a good candidate to switch to config-. I can't think
16 of too many that would fall into the update- class (using the
17 "non-interactive" definition), but perhaps things like fixpackages?
