= Proposal topic =
A new package for fedora which serves only to obsolete and document what pkgs we've orphaned. The point of it is to provide a way for an update to remove orphaned or obsoleted packages which are not explicitly obsoleted by something else.
This would be a package that would be default in @base but not required by any other pkg. So anyone choosing to exclude it or remove it could do so without harm
= Problem space =
Mainly the 'this package was orphaned and removed from f11 but when I update to f12 it hangs around in my system until it eventually breaks deps or has other problems'
= Solution Overview =
providing a package and getting it into the distro here: http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/package-swift.spec-13-1.src.rpm
= Active Ingredients =
releng in particular.
= Owners = Seth vidal
Closing this ticket as a yum plugin approach is going to be tried instead.
