(notes from the peanut gallery) Punting to the user is generally a bad idea in this case. Frobitz failed! Do you want to A) Continue (with unknown scary consequences) or B) not do what you asked me to do? This is the point where the user asks "What the hell is Frobitz, and why doesn't this piece of junk update software work?" It's a really hard problem, and punting to user is just taking a pass at solving it. Maybe we have to though, with a timeout to just continue. It would be helpful if each plugin had a description / functionality field that could be displayed in these situations to at least give the user some breadcumbs for making a decision. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
