+The package manager (urpmi) can also notify people because it sees which 
+installed packages are not in the configured repositories. Zypper even 
+removes such packages automatically. This would give users the choice to 
+keep an 'obsolete' package installed, while that choice doesn't exist with 
+task-obsolete.
