As far as I know, youtube-dl can be installed and updated through pip. I think updating packages if we can is a better idea than removing them. It might be useful to put a warning saying that "Youtube is a propriatery script and makes breaking changes very fast. If this software doesn't work you can try getting a newer version from the python package index at your own risk. "
