There are mechanisms to Obselete packages, one quick example can be the usage
of a Obsoletes/Provides duet, example:

 * mate-doc-utils:

 (...)
 Obsoletes: mate-doc-utils-stylesheets < %{version}
 Provides: mate-doc-utils-stylesheets = %{version}
 (...)

This will allow users to update; the mate-doc-utils-stylesheets will get
obsoleted and uninstalled. After a few releases when you believe all users have
updated you can pretty much remove the Obsoletes/Provides duet.

This is probably the best way to Obsolete a Package.
