Re:Glossary uninstall - 2011/08/29 04:59
It seems to me that we're talking primarily about the difference between an uninstall with intent to install a newer version, vs. a true uninstall with no intent to re install.
With that distinction in mind, is it possible to provide a function within Remository's Control Panel that uninstalls in the way you are describing above (in preparation for an upgrade), but still allow the main Joomla installer/uninstaller to remove the component and all related items completely, without the claimed deficiency?
Of course, the Control Panel function would need to provide a full description of the difference between using the two methods.

If possible, another approach might be to equip the uninstaller with a pop-up question asking the admin which uninstall method they wish to use. If the admin clicks on "Upgrade Preparation", the uninstaller routine follows your above description. If the admin clicks on "Full Uninstall", everything is fully removed.

For some odd reason, the forum component is not allowing me to subscribe to the thread from outside of it. It tells me that I'm subbed, but then throws me over to my Profile page instead of back to the thread. After subbing to another thread from within a new post, I see that the sub to this one did not 'take'. Hoping it works, I'm editing this in order to sub from inside the post (and make you aware of the apparent forum bug). 
Edit #2, the attempt to sub still didn't work. Looks like there's a bug in the forum component.
