I used the patches you posted while you worked on the entire package, will they uninstall the standard way?
Yeah, I realized that it looks somewhat odd even while writing it. It's essentially meant for the future. In general, you don't have to uninstall (and even shouldn't, because it also removes the configuration) - but when making the jump to 4.0.0, it's better to do so.

The reason is that JBPatch 4.0.0 (and the patches) are essentially incompatible with previous versions/patches - which is indicated in the system log (old patches are ignored). But it might leave people wondering ("but... the files are there, so why don't the patches show up?") - and to prevent this, I recommend a clean reinstall.
