Nothing is broken **now**. But it very often broke N+1 or N+2
upgrade. I remember some package broken N+5 upgrade. And then you
(or some co-maintainer) hesitated to add it to
fedora-obsolete-packages because "it is too old". :)

That's why we should keep packages in f-o-p for much longer than we
currently do. There was just a thread about Jiri upgrading from F22
to a recent release. That procedure would have been made easier if
f-o-p had more packages.

+1, but... It does not solve the problem that users want to have two-speed line for package removal.

You want to remove *all* packages which are retired and blocks the upgrade. That is what f-o-p does.

And you *may* want to remove *some* packages that are retired. That is what remove-retired-package does.

You removes package for which you have replacement or you do not use them. But you want to keep packages which you use and there is not functional replacement for them. Hopefully for transition period.
