Agreed. Pretty sure pacman can filter by explicitly installed packages by itself and enough packges don't follow SemVer.
If I'm checking for updates, I will usually need to update any dependencies too.
I don't see a reason why only showing updates to explicitly installed packages is a good thing.
If I'm updating or checking for updates, I need to update it all.
This looks like something perfect for Manjaro, they like impartial updates, right?
I would want to see all upstream updates for anything installed on my system to avoid even considering a partial upgrade.
