But in any case there's a problem there, an option in the UI that
doesn't behave as expected. If the option is there, it should do
something and if it's decided that the option is dangerous, it should be
removed. Otherwise Bugzilla will be flooded by complaints about
unexpected behaviour.

I'm not sure. Looking at the increased number of YaST-related
directories in /var/tmp after each YaST session, it seems that new temp
files are created each time and the old ones are not used again, so it
doesn't seem necessary to keep them around. Actually I think it should
be the other way round: If they are just used during one YaST session
and never used again, they should be in /tmp, not /var/tmp.

You are right, it wans't. I never noticed that because I never needed it
before.

I think it should be. There are not only security updates, but also
optional ones which might introduce problems - there's always a risk
that an update can introduce problems. At least for optional, not
security critical updates, not installing them is a viable solution.

There should be an option to block these permanently. Actually the first
dhcp update for 10.1 *was* broken, I was offline after applying it.
That's why I noticed it. Right now the "taboo" option doesn't seem to do
anything else than the "do not install" option.
