+It is both reasonable and uncontroversial because the User is given the
+choice.
+
+With obsoletes in packages Before any installation or package removal
+via urpmi/rpmdrake
+1) user is informed that rpm A must be removed for other rpms to
+ be updated
+2) user is given the option y/n before the installation/removal
+ proceeds.
+
+If using task-obsolete
+1) user does not know Which or When rpm/s will be removed
+2) user does not know Why the rpm must be removed
+3) user has no choice as this is all occurring in secret
