Right.  If I wanted to design an RCP app for these use-cases, I would use
the second API and explicitly pass the IUs I want to update into the
installer.

If you wanted to be more automatic than that, how would you want to
represent this?  Pass a p2ql query into the installer that would be used to
select what you want?
