We certainly could move the org.eclipse.cdt feature back to its old level below the EPP feature, but then we had the same problems with independent updates again.

I believe the "import" strategy without version ranges allow independent updates...

I read a bit though old bugs and found this bug 361722 [1] for Tycho; it's a good read and for our change here I'd suggest to start with comment 40.

...but it doesn't allow the independent uninstall listed on comment 40. I didn't think about that use-case. So it's indeed not possible to use "import".
