I've just been reading the wiki entry about Red Pill mode, and it seems to me that some of the options would be of general use, including:
Clean apt cache
- Blue Pill mode bins the apt cache by default, and Red Pill allows you to turn this bandwidth wasting behaviour off. Good, on a mobile, I'd have thought.
Use MMC to download packages
- Avoids wasting rootfs space for temporary downloads of packages. Since rootfs space is at something of a premium, this seems like a no-brainer.
Some of the others seem (Show dependencies, Always check for updates) sound harmless, if not actually very useful.
Which are the scary device-bricking options?
