FWIW, I'd also like this to be changed.

As a very practical example of why: I find very annoying that by default
on 14.04 it keeps bothering me that ESM has however many other updates
available that -oh how unfortunate- I can't install, and what should
have been the trivial way to avoid that to creep into my systems (i.e.,
removing ubuntu-advantage-tools well before that change came) couldn't
be done.
