I am quite shocked to hear this from you. I wouldn't have expected this
attitude from you.
You seem have forgotten about the problems, such obsoletes cause, e.g.
when packages are being reintroduced or move to 3rd party repos or when
3rd party packages depend upon them.
Version the obsoletes correctly and this doesn't need to be a problem
at all.
