RPM roadmapping

[Florian Festi]

Yes, I am aware of obsolete cycles and yes, they are a problem. But they are 
a problem for yum and all other updating tools. For rpm the situation is 
quite clear:

pkgs that are obsoleted by to be installed pkgs are silently removed. So the 
circle - and the obsoleting pkg - are gone. Yum on the other side should 
avoid that the two packages are exchanged on every "yum update" call 
(package ping pong). But this is unrelated to be proposed behavior change as 
it can only happen when there is no obsolete circle.
