If the jessie release actually had a point-of-no-return, then it was
this seldomly and/or silently enforced that I totally missed it.

I don't have anything against autoremovals, I am strongly opposed
against the "once you're out, you'll stay out" since I fail to see the
advantages of this approach aside from "giving incentives".

For me, this "incentive" will most likely have the opposite result.
