. No offense but that seems misguided. 

Under many circumstances, that requires installing and then deleting
packages that one doesn't need or want. In other circumstances I have to
delete RPMs from the database to prevent them from being "upgraded."
This complicates things considerably.

I hate to say this but SOMEONE "FIXED" WHAT WEREN'T BROKEN. I cannot
fathom what POSSIBLE benefit accrues to anyone by eliminating this
feature.
