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.
sounds like something worth adding to package-cleanup in yum-utils.
Hmmm. Also, this'd be a case of needing to tag a repo as being "special" in some way. Kind of like the thing with source packages....
