I don't understand what you're saying there, but if yum queries the
user's intentions when any critical package is being removed, I don't
see there would be a problem.

I don't have a usable Fedora any more, so I couldn't check. If rpm
doesn't require python, no matter, it can be removed.
rpm-build requires perl, so if rpm-build were critical then perl would
