If yum is protecting users from un-installing a package which could render the whole system unusable or unresponsive, what remains is not-so important packages, which pull in 100 other _unrelated_ packages to the list of packages to be removed. And invariably user is left with no choice but to type - 'N'; unable to remove a package "yum install yum-plugin-protectbase" adn core-packages like yum/rpm/kernel are no longer removed by accident - but that does and *can not* reslove what you want there is no if and but if a package has a dependency than it has one - period there are no soft-depencencies and any hack allow you to remove a pakcage which is required by another one and ignore this requirement is pretty dumb
