Is the variation interesting, where NOCONFIRM is a predicate so that
we can selectively remove packages?

Do you have a use case in mind?

Sure, that might make sense. If we do that, should we do the same in package-install-selected-packages? It uses its NOCONFIRM argument in a similar way.

We can do that in a subsequent patch.

Feel free to post such a patch, indeed.  Thanks in advance.

Here’s two patches:

<0001-Add-noconfirm-to-package-autoremove.patch><0002-Use-prefix-argument-in-package-install-selected-pack.patch>

The first is the same as before, but it adds the prefix argument usage Eli suggested.

The second patch adds a matching prefix argument to package-install-selected-packages (if this is desired).

I didn’t implement a predicate option for NOCONFIRM yet, since I couldn’t think of a use case, and the intended semantics are not quite clear to me.

Please let me know what else is needed, and thanks!

Are there any outstanding issues? If so, how can I help resolve them?

Thanks!
