Comment (by bonefish):

 And you don't get asked whether you want to perform the changes (without
 the `-y` switch)?

 Regarding a `--force` option, there isn't really any need for that, since
 the whole point of `full-sync` is to allow package downgrades and
 removals, which `update` doesn't do. IOW `full-sync` is what `update
 --force` would do.

 Regarding listing the changes in more categories than just "removing" and
 "installing", that certainly can be done. IIRC openSUSE`s zypper has
 categories "upgrade", "downgrade", "vendor change", "architecture change",
 "remove", "install".
