Sorry, I saw this some months ago and I did not bug it.

I got the impression it was along the lines of package x requires
Firefox, no other package requires Firefox, so yum remove x proposes to
remove Firefox too, even though Firefox predated installing x and would
typically still be wanted.

One at least got the chance to review its proposal before saying yes.
