There are some particular cases where the previous behavior was better imo. Mostly when you reinstall a package for testing/debugging purpose, because you have some problems with it. Some users even try to reinstall all installed packages sometimes. This would lose all REASON information.
That was my first reaction too. I'd argue that it is, in fact, MOST cases where the previous behavior was better. I'm having trouble coming up with a use case where you'd ever prefer to have a package's reason set to explicit if it doesn't absolutely have to be. Can someone point one out? Scott
