Hey, don't worry. Maybe I overreacted a bit, or I made it look like that.

This is what I'm coding right now:

On quit without save:
- Warn about unsaved packages (if you don't save them, you might need to 
go to the .changes file to recover your work)
- Warn about unsaved changes to core (if you don't save them, you might 
need to go to the .changes file to recover your work)

On quit and save:
- Don't warn about unsaved packages. You can save them anytime.
- Do warn about unsaved changes to core (the change set will be removed, 
so you'll need to gather them if you want to publish them or update 
other images).

Does this make sense?
