Description

During the config default process, triggered from the console menu, webgui or hardware reset button, non-default packages are uninstalled from the system.

Since the system creates a backup point for each pkg operation this results in a lot of backups. For systems with a lot of packages it overwrites all 30 backup points in the system.

It would be nice to suppress most of those during the default process. Really we need only a before and after backup.

using 25.03.b.20250414.1838 defaulting the system results in fewer config history creation points, specifically the intermediate config write during package removal which seems to be unnecessary given the package removal also creates an entry
