So "user", "developer", and "administrator" are the configurations and
"previous", "current", and "experimental" are the snapshots?  Or is it
the reverse?  I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if there is any
overlap in the packages within whatever these categories are.  If there
is and one can select more than 1 category, one can theoretically 
de-select a category too.  If this is allowed and there is overlap, then
safeguards need to be added make sure packages that overlap aren't 
removed if other categories they're in are still selected.  I'm assuming
this has been considered and will be handled.  However, this wasn't 
obviously the case so I wanted to raise the issue.
