We really should have made this better announced/documented.
Basically we are switching from 'I go and install
fedora-obsolete-packages and have opted in to it' to 'I have to go
explictly exclude it to keep my obsolete packges'.
Huh? I don't think how fedora-obsolete-packages works, at least not
for a while ...
I have never manually installed fedora-obsolete-packages, it was only
ever automatically pulled in and installed because it "Obsoletes:
something-I-had-installed" before a system upgrade.
