Exactly what I was describing, Tony.

Dolby, that didn't really address the issue, though you did confirm the folder thing.

Example:
- Addon 1 includes 2 folders. 1 folder is named Bob.
- Addon 2 includes 9 folders. 1 folder is named Bob.
- User A installs both addons 1 and 2
- Addon 1 is updated and Bob is removed.
- User A updates both addons 1 & 2.
- Addon 2 updates fine.
- Addon 1 removes Bob when it updates (even though addon 2 still wants Bob).
- User A now has a disfunctional addon 2, because addon 1 stepped on it.

^^ that's tricky, and should be rare. But it needs some way of being addressed.
Perhaps have the addon upload list cross-reference root folders from the entire installed list and if any addon still contains a reference to root folder Bob, don't delete Bob even if the addon being updated dropped it out of inclusion.
