Can someone please clarify the effect of the Permanent attribute for a package 
(e.g. MsiPackage, ExePackage)?

The documentation 
(http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_msipackage.htm) says, 
"Specifies whether the package can be uninstalled. The default is 'no'."

Making a package impossible to uninstall seems extremely frustrating for a 
user, and in my own MsiPackage, when Permanent='yes', I can still uninstall it, 
so...I don't think I understand what it does.
