We are not here to be nursemaids, are we? :-)
IMO, as a matter of convenience, the package should allow itself to be
removed by normal means. Since I never install it anymore, I haven't had
any problems. A strong warning should suffice to "protect" novice
users. How will they learn if they never make a mistake? I believe the
request for a change has merit.
Thanks. Syrus.
