Does your algorithm work for leaf packages that I install and that are

only be removed if it was dragged by the solver , not if it was a
explicit user transaction.
Anyway, it sucks that rpm can save this metadata by itself.

Why do we need more information than the info we currently have to
do this? Why do we need package history? I can't think of any
problem or case.
Maybe you missed the *when removing a package* in the mail subject.
Or it's just me missing something :O) Please explain.
