now you are being a bit too picky.  I'm going to remove the Obsoletes, but here
are the answers anyway:

(In reply to comment #5)
> What is the intended user experience here?
> * What should happen if a user has libpixman and old cairo installed and then

>   cairo?

libpixman removed, as is apparently what happens.

> * What should happen if he only has libpixman and tries to install cairo from
>   the same repository?

"Don't care".  Removed.

> * What should happen if a user has a new cairo and then tries to install a
>   libpixman RPM (using a .rpm file he found somewhere that was copied from
>   rawhide once)?

"Don't care".  Conflict.

> Having answers for these three cases will help finding the best settings for the
> Obsoletes lines.

I only can think of two settings: keep them or remove them.  Removing  defeats
the purpose of what it was there for: to clean up an unneeded package.  Keeping
them does just that.  There's nothing special here as the only package that
evern depended on libpixman was cairo.

But as I said, I'll remove them anyway.  (the situation is similar to pango
obsoleting pango-gtkbeta and fribidi-gtkbeta).
