Is this true?
 
You can not remove any package without a drop-in replacement in a released version of Fedora, because it would break user installations.

I.e. you can only retire packages from rawhide.

Sorry, yes, I had misread "within a Fedora release" as "within a single Fedora release cycle", i.e., the soonest we could drop a library would be Fedora n+2.
