Could you list separately for explicit packages and non-explicit packages when full system upgrading.
This task depends upon

I am against this idea. As far as I am concerned, it complicates output for little benefit.

As an ordinary user, I'd only focus on explicitly installed packages for taking some further action and it is a little difficult for me to find the explicitly installed packages, when they are mixed with many dependencies, especially lots of libraries.

To be honest, I agree with you @Allan, the benefit is indeed little. So If you guys do not agree with the idea, then you can close it.

This seems wrong, since a non-explicitly installed package is just as "actionable" as an explicitly installed one.

Maybe you are right. May some non-explicitly installed package also require rebooting or other actions and I should also take care of that.

Thanks for you kindly comments. Have a nice day!
