[p2-dev] Promoting a sub-feature to a root feature

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

The problem is as follows:

Feature A includes feature B. This means that B cannot be uninstalled even if B is optional.

The solution for us is to change A to no longer include B. When we package our product, we instead install B using the 
p2.director. This means that both A and B become root IU's and be managed individually. But now the shit hits the fan. 
When our users update their products instead of downloading a new packaged product, A is updated and B gets uninstalled. 
I know, this is to be expected and it's the correct behavior from p2, there's no doubt about that. But what can be done 
to prevent it? What we really want is:

A is updated to no longer include B
B is kept and promoted to a root

Is there anyway we can accomplish this?
