Summary and Info:
I have several important packages added to IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. This way I know when updates are available for those particular packages and I can check their changelogs online and decide whether to update them or not. Most of the times, I do decide to update *all* the packages, and to do so, I usually comment out the IgnorePkg line before updating and then uncomment it later. Or, I pass the package names individually to pacman, to override the IgnorePkg option. So, a --no-ignore option would be great for the times when one decides to update all the packages present in the IgnorePkg option. |

Pacman informs the user already if a package upgrade was omitted due to an entry in IgnorePkg or IgnoreGroup.
After that, one can check the corresponding changelogs and announcements, invoke pacman with 'pacman -S <ignored_package>', get a confirmation promt and install the package anyway.
Neither additional command line options nor alternative configuration files are needed.
