I have a suggestion...

It involves merging the "Advanced" tab with the "Status" buttons... See 
attachment.

As you can see, there is no "Advanced" tab anymore, and all the actions you 
could perform in this tab, you can perform them in the "Action" pannel.

I don't see the use for the undo button with this disposition of things.

One could argue that giving the user a so obvious way to do "cross branching" 
is a bad thing, but isn't it the user who added many branches in his 
sources.list in the first place?

What do you think about my suggestion?
