comments?
As of now, IgnorePkg is a "-Su" option only. It this enhancement is really needed, it would make sense to extend it to the whole "-S" code, and not only for groups. the most cautious users would probably be happy with it, whereas the other ones would get annoyed... I've got no strong opinion here. -- Aurelien
