That assumes such a package exists. I have no problems with packages getting
retired when there's really a better replacement which covers the use cases
of the original package (and ideally is officially designated as a
successor), in which case there should also be Obsoletes in place. But in
many cases, there is just no alternative at all to the dropped package, or
at least none that's actually packaged in Fedora.
