This could be worked around with an "obsolete-packages" rpm in the repository, which would mark as Obsolete all such known packages.
Seems like an answer might be to have a "check-retired" command. When packages are removed from the repo, they are moved to an area where the retired packages live. Meta-data is built from that directory so there are no typos. Check-retired would not automatically delete packages just like update doesn't automatically update packages. It should print the list for approval and proceed only if the user tells it to.
