We do not plan on obsoleting them.
Obsoleting them has the potential to break third party software.
dnf should also clean things up by seeing that the dependencies of an
upgraded package have gone away.
If dnf misses it, these are libraries, not binaries.  If nothing is
using them, they just take up some disk space.  If a user really wants
to clean them up, those types of users usually have their favorite
ways of doing so.
