what about to the following improvement: old:

resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... done.

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.
