Hmm: Are you really implying (I don't think so) that browsing all the
groups, going into the details for each of them, selecting all the
optional packages is somehow equivalent to clicking one checkbox? Well,
maybe in the outcome but definitely not in terms of time consumed and
wear and tear on fingers, mouse buttons, etc. ;-). I guess if we had a
means of selecting none/recommended/all packages for specific
groups/subgroups with a single click, they amount of complaints would be
drastically reduced.
