Opened an issue on GitHub for this skin in case you did not yet see it.
Regarding:
script.service.caretaker installed without consent
I was enjoying the evolution of this WIP skin but for now I had to remove it out of principle... It is not personal or even that I am opposed to that script or it's function - I just am sensitive to this type of behavior be it for good / neutral / bad reasons.
Thank you again for reconsidering this particular issue and also appreciate, admire, enjoy and respect all your previous work and contributions to the Kodi community.

pps - saw that you had following code in your skin in a previous commit (but no longer do).
just curious since the breadcrumbs are starting to hint at a possible reason for the script's addition now maybe? - I am pretty oblivious / ignorant of that arena and it's particular politics and current going ons and doings etc.
Regarding:
script.service.caretaker installed without consent
Quote:Have a problem with:
` <import addon="script.service.caretaker" version="0.0.5a"/>`
While I am not personally opposed to this particular script or it's purpose - the fact that your skin triggered it to be installed as a required supporting addon for the skin when this addon actually does nothing (0% - nada) for the skin or support of the skin's in any way.
Come on man - this is just bad form 😞 - maybe a dialog asking if the user would like to have it installed?
I just have a real bad dislike when things like this happen and **especially without notification / consent** etc no matter what they are for but specifically when they are not necessary or in support of what is already installed.
I found this to be troubling and it's upset me so I had to say something and I would respectfully like to ask you just maybe reconsider the way you install a non-skin related (supporting) addon like this especially and to not force install it without consent and then make it "required" on top of that so your can't uninstall or even disable it !!!
Thanks,
Mario

Code:
<onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.areswizard)">UnloadSkin()</onload>
