Nobody is suggesting getting rid of all blocks or automating upgrades |
| 12 |
that shouldn't be automated. |

They're suggesting adding a little more intelligence to the current |
| 15 |
system. Really safe upgrades might happen automatically. Others might |
| 16 |
still fail, but would contain more informational errors. Others might |
| 17 |
just continue as they do currently. |

You don't complain when you upgrade from shorewall 3.4.7 to 3.4.8 and |
| 20 |
portage auto-uninstalls 3.4.7 when you're done, do you? The whole point |
| 21 |
of a package manager is to automate routine and safe activities. The |
| 22 |
alternative is manual install of tarballs... |
