+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.
