I read that thread, but don't see its relevance.  Have I missed something?
In summary:

"uninstall" is not useful in lieu of a package manager, but for developer types (like those on this mailing list) it is useful when you install in the wrong place (as I did just before I felt the need for an uninstall recipe).

The thread you linked to seemed to want the uninstall to not have hard-coded filenames. That's what I did.

I assume I've missed something in the linked thread - what was it you wanted me to pick up from it?
