package-cleanup --leaves --all exists

you only need to know what you are using, thats why i build my own set of
meta packages, look at the SPEC file below, that helps because if deps of
packages i am using are changing i get no longer needed packages listed
without need to filter out my used ones all the time

with that way i own Fedora setups installed 2008 with F9 and running on
F19 with the whole root-fs only 700 MB used, that makes *any* dist-upgrade
also much easier becaue it reduces possible conflicts greatly

'yum install KDE-desktop' installs *meta packages* with requirements, get rid of the
pure meta-packages and "package-cleanup --leaves --all exists" will list you more
and more packages you can't uninstall without damage the whole system
