I would like to discuss the behaviour of pacman -Scc --noconfirm
Currently, it does not clean any package in the cache dir, because the default answer is 'N'. In my opinion it should clean the packages, since there are already two 'c's in the flag, so the user probably knows what is he doing. I believe there should be "yesno" instead of "noyes" on /pacman/sync.c:191 https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/src/pacman/sync.c#n191. What do you think?
Use paccache for non-interactive cache cleaning. Passing two clean flags means "completely erase the cache", not "I really mean it for serious". Performing a potentially destructive operation should not somehow make it more likely to default to "Y".
