The new totem plugin Obsoletes the totem-mozplugin package:
# rpm -q --obsoletes -p totem-3.14.3-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
totem-mythtv < 1:2.91.0-1
totem-upnp < 1:3.1.4-1
totem-jamendo < 1:3.1.4-1
totem-tracker < 1:3.1.4-1
totem-publish < 1:3.1.4-1
totem-mozplugin < 1:3.13.90-1
totem-mozplugin-vegas < 1:3.13.90-1
Its a component in GNOME, and was updated along with the rest of GNOME
in RHEL 7.2 (and subsequently CentOS). It appears that that in
GNOME/totem 3.14, the mozilla plugin was removed, perhaps because
browsers are dropping NPAPI support.
If the totem plugin *didn't* obsolete the package, you wouldn't be
able to upgrade because there would be missing dependencies. This is
how RPM handles this kind of situation.
