This option will take precedence over show size (which makes sense 
because you requested both options and this output includes the size). 
There was a discussion before of getting rid of ShowSize altogether and 
just having one option, the only problem is this output is only for 
upgrades and show size is used in some other places besides just during 
upgrades.
