Yes, I never use it :-).
I guess I'd probably classify this as a specification bug rather than a
more fundamental bug. Exactly what / / clears needs to be clarified. Is
there a use case where you would actually want the upgrade marks removed
as well? Perhaps the simplicity of clearing all marks and then just
running package-refresh-contents to get back the list of packages which
can be upgraded is a justifiable approach which keeps the filter removal
function less complex and therefore less error prone?
It could be nobody has reported this as a bug because they don't
consider it to be a bug. There doesn't seem to be anything in the
documentation which would make me expect upgrade marks would not be
removed, so I would probably consider what you are proposing as a
feature enhancement rather than a bug fix. Then again, as I stated, I
don't use this function, so really don't have any skin in the game.
