Why? Adding working packages to fedora-obsolete-packages forces removing 
them from users' machines just because they are no longer in the repository. 
That is a major disservice to the users. fedora-obsolete-packages makes 
sense to use only when having the package still present actually breaks 
something (and I personally think that it is unhelpful even in that case, 
that is really what dnf --allowerasing is for, at least when we are talking 
about package-level conflicts).
