Morevoer, it's quite ridiculous to focus on removing obsoleted package 
from end users machines, without first cleaning our own infrastructure: 
db5.2 is still present in the subversion repository, for instance...

So, removing a package from the distribution should imply:
1) removing it from the subversion repository
2) removing it from the master package tree (adding obsoletes tag in any 
package just for this is overkill)
3) eventually removing it from end user machines, provided this last 
step bring some added value (which is still unproven)
