Joanie's request seems reasonable, though I can imagine having two separate options (Confirm on Install/Update, Confirm on Remove) instead of one. Removing sounds a little more scary and I can imagine wanting to be more careful about what I remove, vs what I install. And, I don't think this is in the current GUI, but I can see wanting to add "Don't ask me this again" checkbox option at the bottom of the appropriate confirm dialogs which toggle this Preference(s).

Displaying the confirmation dialog on Install/Update will be in a separate webrev. Since the option to not display the confirmation dialog has not yet been implemented, I was wondering: Is the plan to limit this option to the Install/Update confirmation dialog, or will it also apply to the Remove confirmation dialog? To me, as an end user, these dialogs are functionally the same and I would like to be able to configure PM to not show me either confirmation dialog. If that's not the plan, could it be? :-) If it is the plan, would it make sense to change the labels in the preferences dialog to not specify "Install/Update"?
