Sounds good to me. I've always wondered why a new BE was being created
in such an instance.

Related to this (I think): What about having an option to automatically
create a snapshot when one or more packages is being installed/updated
and a new BE is not being created for that purpose? Ideally, the
snapshot would be user-nameable -- or given a name reflective of the
activity rather than a timestamp.

Take care.
