Well, if fedup used yum instead of rpm directly, we wouldn't have this
problem in the first place but another related problem is that end users
don't usually understand meta packages.  If I remove an application and it
shows say fedora-desktop (just a example meta package name) as a dependency
to be removed,  I have no idea what that really means.
