Anyone against dropping it for purposes of being KISS? I think you are really relying on consistent pacman behavior which I can assure you does not always happen.
Or at least drop the current implementation and let someone fix it up to something that makes sense as proposal #2 states.
see the "Transaction Conversations" section of alpm.h, why is it hackish?
Actually, that's partly what I was asking.
or if we think that manually ORing the options is hackish, then why not removing the --debug option, too?
It was removed as well. A while ago, we actually had a discussion about it, I complained that I found the --debug option was not configurable enough. That only applied to arch pacman, not fw one. I personally don't have problems with ORing options, especially if these options are only used by developers.
