When should a package be Obsoleted vs letting it be autoremoved by dnf?

Example: Say you have a python module with both python2 and python3
subpackages.  The only user of the python2 version has switched over to
the python3 package.  Then you decide to stop building the python2
subpackage.  Should the python2 package then be obsoleted, or should it
just be left to be garbage collected by 'dnf autoremove'?


This is being discussed at https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/754

But we weren't able to come up with a solution yet.
