uninstalling SP2 right after the automatic installation?

[totojepast]

Will it be possible to uninstall SP2 after it will be downloaded and
installed automatically on April 12th?

Is it possible to prevent the SP2 installation if the Automatic Updates
are turned on but every patch installation has to be confirmed
manually?

SP2 will not be automatically downloaded and installed without
your consent. If you do not accept the SP2 EULA, then it will not
be installed.

SP2 will not be automatically downloaded and installed without
your consent. If you do not accept the SP2 EULA, then it will not
be installed.

And it can be uninstalled if you're so foolish.

Aparently you are reading articles written by those that know little or
those preferring to spread FUD.
SP-2 will not be installed if you do not want it:

And yes you could uninstall SP-2 if you chose to, but why compromise
security?
