On package level, there is likely no other way. DNF team will have no time/resources to
implement this on DNF level.
I can only thing of /usr/sbin/remove-retired-package which would be a wrapper for
dnf remove $list $of $retired $package
Does that sounds better?
Is there some way how to get this information from PDC?

Will be my mom able to write something like:
dnf remove $(dnf list extras | awk '{print $1} | grep -v
"package-I-still-want")
?
FTR,
dnf remove $(dnf repoquery --extras --exclude=package-I-still-want)
is the canonical way to do this (taken from dnf's manpage).
I agree that this is still not suitable for a regular user.
