That's fine - discard the change.   A branch on the tree is really not 
necessary.  I actually thought about retracting the change after I sent it.

The ultimate goal was to have the ability to hit a push button that would cycle 
through "Curr", "Prev", "Test" versions as well as options for 
"Keep/Skip","Uninstall","Redownload","Reinstall" and "Sources" and have it 
apply to the whole list of packages and not have to do them individually.  
Unfortunately, with all the new changes that occurred in setup with the 
categories and dependencies my understanding of all the trust logic took a 
nosedive and any code I was working on/understood in this area crumbled.
