That just means 'give the end user everything he needs to take a
decision (advice, notification, packages, popup, whatever) but let him
take this decision about this specific issue himself'.
Let's try to move toward a consensus...
Mixing removing of sun jdk with updating another jdk for security seems
an unfair bundle, as you can't have one without another.
Issuing a specific sun jdk security update package, containing only a
README.urpmi file and a shell script inciting the user to read this file
eventually, would be a fair compromise for me. And can be considered as
a standard practice for semi-automatically removing
very-dangerous-packages-we-cannot-afford-to-let-installed-anywhere-otherwise-the-apocalypse-will-happen.
