Hold on: Rahul pointed out on that two month old -devel thread that the
decision was nothing to do with him. Somebody who actually wrote the
code is making the decisions about what is in and out AFAIK, and that's
not anybody who has commented on this thread and probably not the -devel
thread AFAIK.
The people against the everything button were generally arguing from an
architectural standpoint against encouraging people to install
everything, and perhaps from a feeling to hold the party line. But
there's no real argument for making it *hard* to select or clear many
checkboxes and I assume we'll see that fixed, allowing easy emulation of
the lost functionality (minimal too) in an intuitive way.
Agreed on that, things like shift select or whatever functionality that
makes it easier to select multiple checkboxes at the same time in the
interface would be a good compromise if this is not possible already but
I have noted that this particular feature hasnt been requested in
bugzilla yet AFAIK.
