Sure, swup could/should have --list-installed. Add it as a feature 
request to swup in bugzilla.

The reason it's not there is because it's very easy to do:
rpm -qa

Swup is mainly a tool that lets the user know and handle the state of 
his system compared to the state of the update servers.

I'm not interested in general confirmation. However, the --remove 
feature could / should have confirmation.

I have no problems with general confirmation being implemented, as long 
as it's optional.

bugzilla is the place to add feature requests.

If anyone with python experience would like to help out with swup 
development, please contact me off-list. :)
