"yum autoremove" is a command for reliably screwing up your system and
should never be run without manual inspection of what it is going todo.
Is that so? The apt equivalent is usually pretty solid, and as
I mention in the commit message getting rid of obsolete packages can
really help when upgrading fast-moving targets.
I'm also not *that* worried about potentially breaking builders to
be honest, since with our current level of automation the worst case
scenario is spending around an hour rebuilding them from scratch :)
