Yes.

NO IT IS NOT.

You can *delete* the patch provided you do NOT uninstall it. (Deleting the package will just remove the uninstall instructions. If you uninstall it, the vulnerabilities will be returned, regardless of whether the 2.0.4 patch is installed or not)

I won't uninstall it
I'm not one of those idiots x)

Remove=delete

We should not be blasé about this.

How often do we tell people not to delete things but to uninstall them first? This happens... what... once a week that we have to deal with someone who's deleted a mod without uninstalling.

Yes, for that I am sorry. Wasn't clear enough. At least JonezJeA understood remove wasn't uninstall.
