Sounds like an RFE for tools like the rhn-applet and yumex etc.
Maybe a file of removed packages in repodata that these clients can
grab, then check against installed base. and then notify the user.
Client should support "mark as read" so that they don't keep bugged by
the message once they have read it (but can refer to it later if
needed).
