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.
