Re: Error when using siunitx due to expl3 packages

I'm woried with the behavior of the latest updates I've made. They're giving 
me a lot of headacks.

I', having the same probleme related here, probably I will stop making 
updates, until I have another computer only for testing updates, they're 
becoming untrustfull.

I recommend MikTex to integrate a new function to permit after an update, to 
mantain the previous packages for a selectable period of time, and let the 
user to revert to it if he detects any problem.

It shoud be good if a function to passivate a package without uninstalling 
it be developed. I had problems with this in the past.
