Except that -F apparently doesn't want to install new packages, only upgrade existing but outdated ones. While the option I had in mind for -S would either install new packages, or upgrading existing but outdated ones.
But I never used -F once in all the time I used Arch. Who uses this option? I actually was surprised when I first saw it some times ago. And I already forgot it existed, since I never see it mentioned anywhere.
Does anyone even use -F anymore? I could see its usefullness before sync DBs were introduced, but I do have a hard time seeing its use anymore. Kill it? Any objections? I dislike stale crud sitting around. -Dan
