--- Comment #4 from Franco Fichtner <franco at opnsense.org> ---
Yay, cool.  This is going to cause a headache for many existing scripts and
users along with multiple flags that need to be introduced to restore previous
behaviour(s). Sometimes the scripts will fail, sometimes people will want to
break at the first trouble, other times they will need the script/install to
resume. Rollback is nice, but if a file system oddity (e.g. missing dir) causes
a package not to persist, that's going to be awkward, especially in an upgrade
phase where the old package is gone and the new one can't be installed so it
ends up missing.
