It might be a good idea to modify the patchkit installation program to
distinguish
between essential and optional patches. Optional patches might be
marked by
an additional keyword in the description file. The IALL command will
then
install only essential fixes, and optional ones must be installed by
giving the
explicit name. The complaints mainly come from the uncritical
execution of IALL
without reading before what will happen.

I have tried to do some work in this direction, in codrv-0.1.2.ALPHA,
but didn't
get any response from users with critical machines yet on whether
this
fixes the problem.
