That sounds like a good idea to me. That way a person could choose the
partial view, be warned that there are more packages being installed,
and still have the search string available if they want to continue
using it.
I only made the comment because the mailing list is full of complaints
from people who accidentally update packages. It would be a shame if
this improvement to setup.exe were to lead to more people having such
problems.
