not installing packages should be to save disk space and resources needed
for updates, not security and integrity.
And the very ironic thing about all this is that the very proposed
"solution" ("don't install package XYZ if you don't want the
reduced
security that comes with it") is exactly why this very "feature" is such a
bad idea!
