I actually tried that but when yum reported it was going to remove 93
packages due to dependencies, I chickened out.  I wasn't sure if
those additional packages would of actually been removed or not; but I
wasn't willing to take the chance.

I guess I'll ask: Would yum actually remove all 93 packages, or only the
one entered on the command line?
