Rebooting Windows is a PITA for users, and if someone is confused enough to
try to uninstall Python while they're using Python, I'd rather they get a
complaint from Wise. That is, silent deletion of in-use files is a dubious
idea for Python anyway, and that it tickles a Wise bug (Wise uses a
different mechanism to get rid of UNWISE.EXE -- they shouldn't be trying to
do a redundant at-reboot delete of this specific file) nails it for me.
