Should it query for removed packages instead of components?
It seem that when python-foo is retired, the script will attempt to remove
python-foo instead of python3-foo (and python3-foo-docs etc.).
PS That's why I mentioned both options when answering your "how to find out
what has been retired" question. The solution is to stop using the source repos
(and src arch).
Another idea: The script currently needs fedora-packager (for the pkgname
command). If you use --qf=%{NAME} in the repoquery, it won't.
