In that case, I think it should. At least, that would kill the confusion
where preen mode apparently doesn't want to automate a potentially
dangerous operation, whereas the standard mode works extremely hard to
complete the operation with no user intervention (and doesn't even
require as much info from the user!).

Thanks.
