I agree - 'except' - where not removing it is almost certain to cause pain
and suffering.

I think I can see this being possible - but ummm maybe its really more an
extension of 'conflicts with' - and so when conflicts get added it can be
done then...
(like cygwin conflicts with regex - which it doesnt I am
hoping/guessing/havent seen any eveidence yet - but in a similar
circumstance prehaps it would)
