Description of problem: When running engine-cleanup, it asks: Do you want to remove all components? (Yes, No) [Yes]: If you reply No, it asks you what components to remove, but nevertheless removes also other stuff, leaving the system partially broken. We had in the past bug 1060529 for doing this, but it was eventually closed due to lack of interest. We should somehow make it clear that 'No' is not supported. Perhaps add a warning, confirm, or require setting some env key to enable this.
Sandro, I think we want this fixed also in 4.3. What do you think?
See also bug 1773704.
I would prefer not changing too much UX especially so late in 4.3 life. Martin?
(In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #3) > I would prefer not changing too much UX especially so late in 4.3 life. > Martin? Well ... 4.3 will be around for quite some time. We should at least document that partial cleanup is not supported and may break your installation in the docs.
