I agree completely. But breaking users' installations, or presenting
them with a complex remediation "solution" might not be the most
helpful way ;) Also keep in mind that when an upgrade causes problems
due to 3rd-party plugins messing it up, this probably won't fall back
on the 3rd-party plugin, but on Eclipse, which is after all
suggesting/performing the upgrade.
I do not find the P2 remediation helpful. It takes forever, even when
the problem is just 'already installed' (Bug exists).
Whenever P2 gives me an error, I cancel immediately since for me the
fall-back bad dependency trace contains an accurate albeit obfuscated
description of the problem. In comparison when I have left it to the
remediation, the remediation has, I think, never been helpful to me.
I've even raised a bug because I couldn't understnad waht was on offer.
Sorry but that's the way it is, and I don't think we can offer it to users.
