Description

People try to uninstall for example Freeboard. This only removes any updates of the included plugins, "revealing" the older version that was installed as part of the server.

Since these can not be uninstalled and the result is confusing we should disallow uninstalling them.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the uninstall handling for included plugins and webapps, then check how the server distinguishes bundled items from updates. Done means attempting to uninstall an included item is disallowed and no longer reveals an older bundled version.
