Retiring such a library

Is this true?
You can not remove any package without a drop-in replacement in a released
version of Fedora, because it would break user installations.
I.e. you can only retire packages from rawhide.
Sorry, yes, I had misread "within a Fedora release" as "within a single
Fedora release cycle", i.e., the soonest we could drop a library would be
Fedora n+2.
