[Python-ideas] pip enhancements: check for dependent packages before uninstalling and store installation date to allow listing by it

Hello, I believe it would be helpful if pip checked if there are any dependent packages before uninstalling a package. If there were, it should: 1. Warn the user by listing the dependent packages; 2. Require a specific option, eg. --alldeps to uninstall all dependent packages before
