Comment (by waddlesplash):

 I do get asked, but still -- not many people expect the package manager
 will downgrade packages without telling you.

 Ah, I see -- running "update" says "Nothing to do." That's much more
 acceptable. Perhaps a warning note on the output of "pkgman --help" on
 "full-sync" would be appropriate?

 And yes, those categories sound much better than just "remove" and
 "install".
