A good idea in general, but I prefer to run 'tlmgr update' in batch
mode, especially at work, where I can't spend too much time on the
updates.

If Norbert is willing (and has time to) implement an interactive mode,
I suggest tri-state logic for auto-remove:

  true / false / ask

Perl doesn't have real boolean variables anyway. ;) 

Any default value is fine for me.  But I suppose that most users prefer
to be asked in advance by default.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
