A simple question that should be addressed somewhere on the install page. If I uninstall this module, will I lose my taxonomy terms and vocabularies? The bug with the misnamed config affects the entire Drupal stack.

Replying to my own issue. Looked at the uninstall code, specifically taxonomy_import_uninstall function. Looks like the only data that's removed on uninstall is the files that were used/created to import taxonomy terms. The warning message when going through module uninstall process is, if I'm remembering, pretty generic, i.e. are you sure you want to do this, data will be deleted. Could the warning message be more specific, like, the taxonomy import files will be deleted from filesystem/taxonomy_files...? Alternatively, could the documentation spell this out in more detail? Uninstalled the module and the uninstall did not affect my vocab and terms.

Should note that uninstall of this module via UI does not uninstall the module's config. It appears there is no code in the uninstall function that removes module config. This is problematic given that the config is misnamed.
