Description

Feature unintallation causes refreshing all packages of OSGi system:

org.osgi.service.packageadmin.PackageAdmin.refreshPackages(null)

that's usually reasonable. But sometimes it'd be better to uninstall some features and then perform the refreshing.

My case is a test scenarion when I want to iterate over available features and install+uninstall each of them. Refreshing all packages causes unexpected behaviour of e.g., PAX Exam system.
