Andrew, Yeah I think I was in overload mode I just read that man on it before checking my email. hehehe. I guess I just wanted to be sure the old "exclude" would stop a release update but allow me to keep grabbing all the other packages that comes out with the new release. I think I was confused about that more than anything. Thanks to you and everyone that replied.
