I would imagine that uninstalling will happen far less often than
updating,
I don't, at least at first. I expect >99% of new installations of
21.0 will first load the SUMO package tarball, then the age-old FAQ
will come back to life -- "How do I get rid of all the crap I don't
use and will never use?"
or even checking for currency. I'd really love to have a tool
(either lisp or command-line, but probably the former), that I
could run now and then, that would spit out lines like: "you have
an out-of-date CC Mode package, please upgrade". I don't even mind
doing all the ftp's myself!
That should be doable.

BTW, I wonder if Eric Raymond's Trove project might not help in
managing the lisp packages.
I forwarded the announcement that went through cola last week, but
noone has deigned to comment on it.
