No idea, but maybe we could ship a "garbage-collector.7-1.fc7.rpm" in the repo that simply obsoletes all packages that aren't shipped anymore and don't get obsoleted by other packages. This would improve the "yum update fc6 -> f7" scenario a lot and shouldn't be to hard to realize. But how to actually use that rpm? Only for old orphans/dead.packages from Fedora where we know the deps won't get satisfied? Or for all orphans that aren't shipped in a new distro version anymore -- people then might wonder where the package went, but maybe that better then to leave unsupported packages behind on users systems.
