Comment (by robe):

 Just that people may think uninstall means something other than what it
 does.  They might accidentally run it thinking it simply just removes the
 functions not realizing the irreversible consequences.

 I'm thinking most people that woudl want to run it won't have geometries
 and they just accidentally installed PostGIS and want to remove it from
 their db.
