I feel the need to take this occasion to woe about the terrible UI of setup. Two years or more ago there was a major revision, sarcastically accompanied by the comment the UI would have been pushed forward to the 90s. Before that, you could simply select a package by clicking one (!) checkbox. Since then, you have to open a popup, scroll to the latest version and click that. This multiplies the effort to do selections significantly and it's quite a nuisance. > > This is not the place for setup feature requests. It's not a feature as it was much better before; it's a regression. Can we please get back a fast-usable interface?
