I have found this issue a tiny bit irritating because if one installs a lot
of user-written ado files, any attempt at actually browsing the list to find
a program eventually gets rather tedious. On the other hand, I can see why
some people might like a list of all previous installs. Unfortunately, I'm
not one of them. My strategy for dealing with the long list problem has been
to forego -ssc install, replace- and rather first -ssc uninstall- and then
-ssc install-. I'm not sure if I'm missing out on something by doing this,
but I haven't run into any problems yet, and it renders the list pleasantly
parsimonious.
Best,
Lee
