Hello,

Bug #330537 added a --skip-protected option, which is VERY useful, but has no short option.  In normal usage looking for damaged packages, I'd say normal users almost always want this option ON.  I would be in favor of having it be default-on, but that may be too big of a change from current behavior.

Please give us a short option so quick system checks like
# qcheck -aB --skip-protected
can become more like
# qcheck -aBP

Thanks!
