Thanks, and yes, that's confirmed.
Now, of course, the super annoying part of my response: This is a non-trivial
issue. Basically, we've no good way to determine whether things should be
removed again automatically. It's akin to what happens with package managers,
where there's no good way to detect whether something is still desired by the
user. We /can/ detect whether something is still required by another specific
thing on the system (that is, knewstuff can't, but kpackage (the bit that does
the cross-origin bits) can do this, or at least be taught how to), and we can
detect whether something is in use and refuse to remove it, but what we can't
detect is whether the user wants to get rid of the main thing, but still wants
to use something.
That final bit, though, is arguably something where we just have to ask the
user whether that's what they want to do, probably with the things that we know
are safe to remove pre-checked, and the others not selected, with a description
of why they're not selected (required by something else), or not available for
removal (because they're in active use).
But, yeah, in short, not a trivial issue, but one that we do want to try and
work out how to deal with properly.
