In fact, now I think about it for two seconds, the
'fedora-obsolete-packages' package can fulfill this role perfectly well.
If we make it a policy that all packages which are retired but not
specifically obsoleted by anything else be listed as Obsoletes: in that
package, then you can decide whether such packages are removed on
update/upgrade simply by whether you have that package installed or not.
Correct, but .. this needs to be done very carefully to not harm efforts
aiming at resurrecting/reintroducing packages, be it in Fedora, as part
of 3rd party repos or locally.
In short, no
Obsoletes: package
but something along the lines of
Obsoletes: package <= NEVR(last version in fedora)
