Rollback should end up removing all the installed packages. With major upgrade this *does* leave the old version on the machine in a broken state. Fortunately, a repair will fix the old version.
MSI does provide a way to put multiple MSIs in a transaction but every time we try to use it we find a new bug in it. So we decided to be safe and end up with a consistent story even if it isn't perfect in the Major Upgrade rollback scenario.
