Make sure to keep any feature selected which you don't want to uninstall.

I deleted the duplicate messages for you.

This means that this component will never be removed, not even at uninstall.

I don't understand your question. What are you trying to do?

In step 2, if you only select D and de-select A, B, C it should immediately uninstall A, B C.
If in step 2 yu want to add feature D but keep A, B, C you should not un-select A, B, C but keep them selected plus select D.

If your setup behaves difefrently (i.e. features A, B, C are not selected by default in step 2) there's something wrong.
