Hell, no. But then, I like the current default: I choose which
packages to install, and from them on I want the latest versions of
all packages I have so chosen.
Seems to me you want to choose which packages to upgrade. I
showed you how it would never upgrade any package you did not
explicitly ask to upgrade (by releasing the hold on the
package). Make up your mind. Either you want to select packages to
upgrade, or you don't. If you do, hold everything, and release what
you want. If you don't, the current default works. Wheres the beef?
