Not when it is buried in the mess of the other hundreds of packages going from 
Fedora N to Fedora N+1.

Nor is it very obvious in the GUI or UI why a set of packages are set for 
removal, one would have to chew through yum output or even potentially debug 
output to see exactly why these packages are getting lumped into removal.  I 
think our user experience around using yum to update from one release to the 
next is bad enough without adding in a "feature" to drop orphaned packages 
like hot potatoes.
