That wouldn't be > preemptive, it would be last minute. One of the reasons for the GLEP > is to remove the need for last-minute pkg_setup die notices. Assuming it would trigger on _available_ updates (and not only when the actual upgrade is about to be performed) the relevant notice would be shown at --sync and --pretend time, no? Then the user has the opportunity to delay the update until he's prepared for the change, I wouldn't call that last-minute.
