actually, I will confirm quite the opposite...

that on my local copy of F8 (Everything) that there are quite a few
items that have fc7 in the filename so that is really poor advice
(removing packages based upon file name) (estimated at 50+ and no
estimate on quantity in updates)

double checking packages via yum-utils 'package-cleanup' is not
necessarily a bad idea but you have to know which repositories you have
configured (and why) and be really up to date for it to provide accurate
information.

feel free to work with OP on these issues but it would seem akin to hara
kiri by butter knife
