Is there any particular reason that after installing a Sun Java update it leaves the old, bug ridden, and presumably exploitable versions installed still?

I see so many PC's that can have as many as 10-15 versions of Java on their PC ranging from Java 1.3.0, 1.4.2, 1.5.x and now 1.6.x versions, and combined they can use as much as a gig of space on the users drive.

Is there any way to stop this, or perhaps a handy option of simply removing or overwriting old versions when you install an update rather than then having to manually removing old versions with Add/Remove.

Much oblidged :)
