Erm sorry about that empty one.. I forgot I had some stuff going awol while
messing with some other stuff... So my editor never fired up. :)

Anyways the UPDATEFIX part is to ensure that the system still works 
after a system-update... like the current g++3.3 -> g++3.4 update
which basicaly breaks all c++ apps...

So imho the default of having it on is a good idea for a lot of users
I myself always go first through the various options and check what I want
So I guess a goor recommendation is that ppl should first check the options
when installing /updating sorcery...
But yeah maybe a *NEW* next to an option would be nice similar to how the
kernels config has it...

Just my opinion...
