The current pacman still makes no sense:

(1) "Status (as of last Update)" may tell you that some addon can be 
updated, but it doesn't say what.

(2) "Update Status" says essentially the same thing.

(3) "List Installed" doesn't tell you what needs to be updated -- unless 
you pore over the list from "List Installed" and try to discern from two 
sets of decimal-point-separated version numbers which are current and 
which have updates available.

Why must he user be tortured like this? Surely there should be a button 
"List Not Updated" (or some such title) to do the obvious thing -- the 
thing that's needlessly obscure to do now.
