This makes a change to whitelist logic to require steps to be explicitly marked as 'skippable' in the code to be whitelistable by users. Previously, everything was assumed to be skippable and steps had to be marked that they could not be whitelisted. This can lead to steps in processes like upgrades being skipped by users when they should not be causing more problems. This may have an impact on users used to skipping certain steps, but will enforce more forethought on what a user should be able to skip.

I am starting this as a draft, as it's a reversal of logic, and should include a review of all possible steps that we may deem skippable at the outset. This is also a bit tricky because there may be cases where the step and the context have to be taken into consideration -- which this solution does not provide an answer for at present.
Steps that have currently been marked skippable were pulled from our documentation.
