Silent Mode Rule Creation

Hi,

 

I have automatic program control disabled, so I get a pop up asking whether I want to grant internet access to a requesting program.  This is how I like it.

 

When I turn on silent mode, this setting is ignored and rules are automatically created for a requesting program allowing it internet access without any pop up.

 

Is this by design or an oversight?  It makes silent mode useless for me.

 

TIA
