I think the most predictable thing for sysupgrade to do by default would be to upgrade only those sets I installed originally/installed the last time I upgraded through the installer program. Thus I could make the decision about sets once and not have to think about it every six months (every few days if following snaps!). I don't know whether this design would require the installer to leave additional state behind that it doesn't already, e.g. a list in /var/db/sets. Evan Silberman
