No. Just 'not in a trust slot'.

Consider two setup.ini's. One lists:
1.4 = prev
1.6 = curr
the next lists
1.4 = prev
1.5 = curr

Whichever becomes curr of 1.5 and 1.6, the other won't be in a trust
slot, but will still be newer than prev.

Yes. Or perhaps a customisable <p> / <prev> / <myfavouriteword>. Yep,
options are needed :].

Which is on the TODO list. The package picker can decompose itself into
a grid of controls. We are going there long term ;].

My 2c: Command line options, defaulting to off.
