And once in awhile a packager fumbles Obsoletes/Provides for a
package, and then some really surprising results can come out of the
depsolver, as a web search for "Protected multilib versions" will
show.

How about a compromise solution: a plugin, enabled by default, that
protects a few key components (kernel, systemd, rpm), and nothing to
prevent that plugin from being removed (i.e., no direct dependencies
on the plugin)?  That, it seems to me, would satisfy most of the
participants in this thread.
