day? I know that Linux doesn't have the 'Restore Point' functionality, but shouldn't there be a way to remove/regress packages (with no Software Source) to get back to a version that is preferred/functional?

I fondly remember VMS and its versioning file system. Every change was a revision and old versions were kept as default. If I made lots of changes and the day turned out real bad, I could just go back in time. That one feature of VMS more than made up for its interesting command line format.

I hear a versioning file system is in the works:
