My reasons are switching from unmotivated to busy. The biggest complaints I got on this came from wonder (Ionut Biru) although they were backed up by a few other Arch users on irc. Last time we discussed (2 weeks ago?), where I tried to argue how unpractical I found this feature to be, he wasn't much convinced, but he said he would give it a try and see if he could get used to it (not using the group interactive feature). But in any cases this code should change to be more frontend/gui friendly. I just don't know how urgent that is. Ideally a frontend developer would provide a patch :)
