My only request here is that it saves at least a years worth of updates by default. If something breaks on my system and I don't notice it for a few months, I can't tell if an update broke it or not. I have a 828Kb pacman.log from a 5 year old install. Granted I don't -Syu as often as I should, but it still seems manageable at many times that on modern hardware. Dale
