Please not using mechanism. Make it easy to opt out, or better yet opt-in. Probably better
to just advertise `yum list extras` which has existed since at least Fedora 12.

How is this discoverable? It's already really unclear that
fedora-obsolete-packages should be excluded if you want to keep obsolete
packages. :(
Agreed. We should kill the auto destruct on this package. It makes it very confusing why
something it's being removed. Or at least make it obvious in the output why things are
being removed.
