Good points. It's the reason I almost never accept downgrades 
suggested by Smart, except when I'm trying to get around some 
dependency issue, and intend to reinstall the current packages 
immediately after - I have done it on one or two other occasions, 
but for very special circumstances. As I mentioned earlier in 
this thread, Smart always gives you an approval window where it 
lists exactly what it intends to do before proceeding, and 
there's a cancel button.
