I am perfectly happy with the current Setup; however I would
be surprised if the typical user did not launch Setup mainly
to update packages already installed. Accordingly, Pending is
the logical view to show first. But I recognize that it would
be good to also show Pending as the last stage before actual
installation. Therefore, if changes are made to Setup, perhaps
start with Pending. If anything is added or deleted by going
off the Pending view, then Next should take you back to
Pending for a final review before actual installation.
