What is the particular scenario that the new conflicts handling broke
for you? Often you really want to ignore locally installed packages and
then it's better to override LOCALBASE to /nonex or something similar,
instead of disabling conflict handling...

It's the classic Microsoft security-bulletin formula: "The vulnerability
is important (never dangerous); you have nothing to fear and no reason
to regret trusting us; we have no intention of apologizing for it or
even explaining it adequately; now go get your patch, shut up, and be
grateful nothing bad has happened. -- The Register
