I strongly dislike the idea of click deleting user data when
applications are uninstalled. The number of ways that this can go wrong
is staggering. Different users on a device may wish to make different
choices when an application is uninstalled.

We do need some way to clean up applications but it should be handled
through some other user-driven mechanism; I suggest an interface in the
system configuration dialog that allows users to see how much {cache,
configuration, private data, trust-store entries} each installed
application is using and allow them to delete the data as they wish.

Thanks
