It's much easier to not use the feature and use -g as there's a greater chance that the package created during a successful installation will work for restoring purposes. Also, plist problems of past revisions are not interesting, but plist problems of up-to-date packages should generate PR's. All in all, the backup feature is only useful as convenience for when an install fails, but in my experience generates more noise then you're saving. -- Mel
