This isn't necessarily a good idea, because those dangling symlinks
may belong to their respective packages. If so, removing them will
compromise the integrity of the package they belong to.

I don't fully understand.  Of what use is a link to nowhere?

Let me show you an example.

$ rpm -qV hunspell
$ symlinks /usr/share/doc/hunspell/
dangling: /usr/share/doc/hunspell/README -> README.md
# rm  /usr/share/doc/hunspell/README
$ rpm -qV hunspell
missing   d /usr/share/doc/hunspell/README

I've started a new thread "dangling symlinks and upgrades" to continue this.
