Unlike the 'resolve' case, I really do think that 'uninstall' being the same as resolving a block isn't in the least bit obvious. It certainly wasn't clear when we were designing the resolver that we'd be able to get it to work that way... Also, 'uninstall' does some sanity checking on the inputs. If you try to uninstall something that isn't installed, you'll get an error, whereas for blocks it'll do one of a number of different things depending upon whether the spec matches anything. -- Ciaran McCreesh
