While we're at (m)uttering desires, I'd like to propose - which may be  
more work - keyboard usability. It'd really be nice if I could just hit  
[-] (uninstall), [+] (install or keep), and trigger reinstall (possibly  
with r or !). Let's not force users to even more rat-moving and  
rat-ear-stroking.
