Would it be possible to have some metadata which would flag to yum that the package needs to be removed.
yum does not know if you want the package removed or not. But it could indicate that none of the repos used for this resolver run provides this package or a package which obsoletes it.
yum list extras.
The problem with list extras is that it doesn't differentiate when a package is extra because a newer version exists or if the package doesn't exist in the repo.
