But in case I am damnest sure that a particular file has been time tested , I could add it as an exception in the first place. I would not have to go thru the procedure of restoring it from chest and then add an exception.
You could do this if you are absolutely sure about the file, but I would not recommend it.  I personally do not like playing with fire.  I therefore put more trust in Avast, report the file as a possible FP, rescan it while leaving it in the Chest and do not add it as an exception for the possibility of infecting my machine until I know all is clear.

Afterall, putting a file under "denied access" is no different from quarantining it in Virus Chest. So, I guess, the said condition of Repair > Ask > Chest is just fine. :)
