Actually I tough about that and IMO if an extension has AWM pages it
should have a non optional dependency on AWM (i.e. it would be
optional from flavor point of view but non optional from other
extension point of view).

Hi Thomas,
If it's not optional then... it's not optional and require to
uninstall backward dependency.

Hi everyone,
I just implemented https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1229 which
allows to indicate that a dependency will be installed by default but
does not have a string dependency link with the extension, meaning
that uninstalling it won't impact the backward dependencies (so they
are not really backward dependencies in that case :)).
This is very nice. What if I want to uninstall an extension which is NOT marked as
optional (ie force uninstall at your own risks)? Now we need to decide what exactly is optional in
Standard flavor.
Here are some ideas:
* application-help-center
* xwiki-platform-menu-ui
* xwiki-platform-wiki-ui-mainwiki
* xwiki-platform-office-ui
* xwiki-platform-invitation-ui
* xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui
I think it needs some refactoring first since the pages it generates still need some
pages from AWM. * xwiki-platform-linkchecker-ui
* xwiki-platform-sandbox
* xwiki-platform-sharepage-ui
* xwiki-platform-distribution-flavor-tour
* application-templates-ui
I did not actually tried to uninstall those so it's possible it's not
a good idea to uninstall some of them right now (hardcoded use
somewhere maybe).
WDYT ?
The list sounds good to start with (we need to test remove them first ofc).
Thanks
-Vincent
