Or that they simply quit doing that and instead print a message like "Port X is deinstalled but it may have some processes running, please do Y and/or Z to find them and/or stop them". We've seen some much better solutions being proposed (configurable behavior, etc), but their implementation would take some time and the current status quo is a real PITA. Thank you very much for your attention. -- Andriy Gapon
