> "Tough". You can't uninstall a type and leave the data in place, the data
has no meaning without the type.
Yes and you shouldn't wipe out user data silently without at least warning
users you are wiping out their data.

So if a type is attached to data, it shouldn't be allowed to be removed just
like I can't remove a record if it is related to other data with a foreign
key constraint and I don't have a cascade rule in place.
