That would be just about all packages the end user actually sees, wouldn't it. For example, I don't think anything actually depends on tuxracer.
That means they can be uninstalled without breaking dependencies. Since rpm checks dependencies when packages are installed and uninstalled the needed information should already be in the rpm-database. A script should be able to perform this.
I seriously doubt it. A script can list all packages that nothing else depends on, but for the above reason I don't think you really want it to automatically remove them Anders
