Well, I am not sure I like the idea to help users to remove packages from the
list. If you are afraid to leak information, the only safe course is not to
report to popcon. I do not want popcon to be held responsible for leaking
information it was told to protect.

Beside, I am afraid this will skew popcon results because some packages will be
under-reported.
