That's a separate problem. It would be nice if only the first person to
try it had to experience the brokenness, but let's assume I have a test
machine and I'm the first to notice. How do I save my production
machine from the same fate (and on a side note, everyone else)?

That doesn't sound like something that scales very well. Can I get the
package set I want by excluding all other possibilities?
