Why didn't you e-mail me to tell me about your concerns? You've done nobody a favor by complaining about it here... I'm just thankful someone involved with Plone found this message and forwarded the address to me.
I used that 200pieces directory because I didn't want everything to be overwritten when someone re-installs, I wanted that done by the postinstall/postupgrade scripts. In hindsight, it might not have been necessary. I'll take another look at it and see if it could be avoided. I'd definitely prefer not to if it's not necessary.
We make this installer for people to deploy a production-level CMS on their server and want worry-free upgrades. That's the motivation, not making uninstalls any harder.
If you have a better idea for handling upgrades, please let me know. My e-mail address is in the readme files that come with the package.
Oh, and the complete uninstallation instructions are included in the readme file too.
I am very responsive to feedback and appreciate everyone's suggestions. Disrespecting people who put a lot of work into trying to help open source software is not constructive.

Another excellent persistence layer for Java (RDBMS to Java object models) is EOF, part of WebObjects.

This has been in development for about 10 years now. I use it every day and it's wonderful.
tomichj, The XML-RPC community looks forward to your fixes. :-)
Thanks,
