How about something really simple:

* No authentication required to remove an application or add-on
(anything that's displayed in GNOME Software)
* Authentication required to remove system packages (you must be using
gpk-application to be doing this)

If removing an application ever breaks anything, there is a very serious
packaging bug, since core applications are unremovable and nothing
besides plugins should depend on an application.

There's probably something wrong with this. Thoughts?
