I too have both installed. Since I'm not subject to confusion due to
large volume operations (although a brain-glitch is certainly possible),
I just set "protect=0" as my default and have priority={10,20, ...} as
appropriate in the various repo files. NP so far. Previously, until sure
I wanted to use priorities, I had "protect=1" and it over-rode
priorities (AFAICT). This would seem to have useful implications.
So I leave both installed.
