Presumably (assuming it even still works 4 years later) that includes
the ones that people might not want (mostly telemonitoring, I think,
though I presume there's the EOL nag too).

If it _does_ still work, and does include the undesirables, can those be
removed individually? (Which, unless removing them is a huge effort,
would presumably be less effort than getting just the desired ones
individually, or possibly even using WSUS.)

.... each generation tends to imagine that its attitude to sex strikes just
about the right balance; that by comparison its predecessors were prim and
embarrassed, its successors sex-obsessed and pornified. - Julian Barnes, Radio
