Pardon my lack of understanding here (I did read that whole conversation), but I'm a little hazy on what the problem is. What's the difference between giving a "No Configuration" answer ahead of time/by default and doing it with the GUI that is presented? But are you saying that it's impossible to suppress anyway? Rather, you seem to be suggesting that upon update, we may see our configuration changed out from under us? We are not using puppet or anything like that. Config is by hand.
