That's true. What I'd like to see here is that your favorite package manager remembers which libraries you installed explicitly and do not auto-remove those. At least this is what apt does in Debian.
Woudn't help you if the -devel pacakge is installed because it's part of a pattern like "KDE development", would it?
Well, if the pattern requires the -devel package (which requires the
shlib package) then it would stay because the pattern is not removed.
Of course I may be confused as to how "patterns" interact with rpm
dependencies. A naive implementation using a rpm with just rpm requires
would work this way at least.
