---------------------------------------------


Trying to outline why I think more explict UI elements is better here:

Lets say there a 10 elements in the list of things that can be installed/update.

I want to Update all:
In your option: Find the right of 3 options in 10 combos (~10 clicks + scrolling in combo)
in mine: Click Update All (1 click)

I want to remove 3 of them:
In your option: Find the right of 3 options in 3 combos + Apply (~4 clicks + scrolling in combo)
In mine: Click 3 element checkbox + Remove 

I want to update 3 of them:
In your option: Find the right of 3 options in 3 combos + Apply (~4 clicks + scrolling in combo)
In mine: Click 3 element checkbox + Update

I want to install 3 early access components: 
in your option: Find the right of 3 options in 3 combos + Apply (~4 clicks + scrolling in combo)
in mine: User need to explicitly choose to see it then click 3 elemens checkbox + update/install

Yes your approach is more "uniform"/generic but that is not necessary a good thing since it
A) adds overhead in most cases compared to most common usecases
B) makes early access something everyone can install more by accident than intentional.
