That is not what you have been complaining about (as far as I
understand).  The complaint is about removing libAB, not PkgA.

yum already detects that libAB is used by another package, no reference
counting needed.  The difference is that yum lets you decide if you
really want to remove libAB (and everything that depends on it) or not,
rather than having to manually first remove all the dependencies (if you
really want to remove libAB).
