Uninstalling, is also, not possible without a full OS reinstall.

To clarify, "full OS reinstall" doesn't necessarily mean wiping out all your user accounts and system configuration. Since 10.2, the OS provides an "Archive and Install" option that will replace only the OS components, preserving all user accounts and system settings.


After an "Archive and Install", one would still have to apply Combo Updaters and individual product updaters (e.g. Java, QuickTime, iTunes) to achieve the original revision level.

Also google keywords:
  mac os x archive and install

Personally, I'd do a full backup before starting an Archive and Install, but some people prefer working without a safety net.
