Right. Anaconda doesn't actually remove the out-of-Core package itself
-- nobody suggested that it does. But it still doesn't actually _work_
if the libraries on which it depends have been removed.
so you're really only dealing with obsoletes.
oh and anaconda has no way of dealing with closed source binaries really
anyway - on any version of anaconda, ever.
and since things have been removed from rhl and fc in the past - your
argument is just a straw man.
BTW,. you're being a dick.
