The big problem with this approach is that it has no way to know whether the 
package wasn't actually explicitly installed, but just happens to also be a 
dependency of the package about to be removed. (E.g. if A Requires B and I do:
* yum install B
* yum install A
* yum remove A
I don't really expect B to get removed. And AFAIK there are several pairs of 
packages in Fedora where that situation could apply.) That's why there's all 
this discussion about tracking that information with a flag in some database.
