I suppose simply because it is good programming to make a package
uninstallable. Another reason is you may want to use it as a temporary
fix, and replace it with the official SUN patch when it comes.

If you want to know what the uninstall does,

- rename the package.pkg to package.tgz
- gunzip package.tgz
- tar -xvf package.tar

You will find seperate directory's with the install and uninstall
scripts, so you can see what is being installed, and/or uninstalled.
