Thanks to everyone that helped with ideas and thoughts around this.

The problem is as follows:
Feature A includes feature B. This means that B cannot be uninstalled even if B is optional.
The solution for us is to change A to no longer include B. When we package our product, we instead install B using the
p2.director. This means that both A and B become root IU's and be managed individually. But now the shit hits the fan.
When our users update their products instead of downloading a new packaged product, A is updated and B gets
uninstalled. I know, this is to be expected and it's the correct behavior from p2, there's no doubt about that. But
what can be done to prevent it? What we really want is:
A is updated to no longer include B
B is kept and promoted to a root
Is there anyway we can accomplish this?
