There is also an ownership angle.

If the software is UN-installed, some of the pieces left lying around may belong to the user.  Just because I uninstall OpenOffice does not mean my documents, extra fonts, plugins, clip art, templates etc should be deleted.  I probably want all of those when I install Libre Office.

Okay.

Anything created AFTER installation (configurations, setups, working files, etc) should remain.  They are the user's property and should not be arbitrarily removed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
