But if you are installing security updates only, arent you also using
some other cmdline options? Wouldn't your other plugins handling
security-only stuff ensure that only security updates are installed?
That was actually one of the questions that I had but forgot to add. I
wanted to make sure that this plugin plays nicely with others, and I
wasnt sure how everything interacted.
So, my goal is to make this as automatic and seamless for people. Making
people add a cmdline option for this doesnt really meet my goals. I
would be willing to add a cmdline option to disable this plugin, if
people think that would be helpful.
