Actually, there are two:

But both are completely broken by design because they don't understand the
difference between something being dragged in as a dependency or being
explicitly installed. Applications can require other applications,
remove-with-leaves will happily remove those even if you actually want
them! package-cleanup --leaves even finds almost all applications, so it's
entirely useless.
if you run:
yum install foo-app
and it drags in:
bar-app
and
foo-lib
Then you've not explicitly chosen to install bar-app.
With the availability of the yumdb information we should be able to make
remove-with-leaves know more about the intent.
