Hello,
I was surprised to see /usr/share/texlive on my system although I
remembered very well removing it months ago. It turned out to be
caused by two rpmsave files, although some *empty* directories weren't
removed:

That's normal rpm behaviour. It only deletes directories if they're
owned by the removed package and empty.
But then I decided to check my whole /usr tree and found more
orphans
than I expected.
Feel free to open bugs against the offending packages. Complete file and
directory ownership is mandated in the packaging guidelines.
