in order to maintain simplicity, you only want there to be one way to
do things.  hence providing synonyms for commands is a bad idea.  the
user has a lot of avenues to figure out the correct syntax.  they can
read the man page or search the web.  and i bet they discover "remove"
pretty quickly even if they are used to things being called
"uninstall".  so, i recommend that this issue not be fixed.
