Obviously I should pay more attention. Had generally
treated it as a package updater when I was feeling
lazy.

One thing that might be nice to add though would be to
color the installed version number of installed packages
that are out-of-date compared to the repository version.

- The 'Update All' pushbutton lacks pop-up help.
- 'Binary Format Packages' checkbox has typo in its pop-up
help ("*.tgz" Extesion).
