Out of pure curiosity, I just ran
`package-cleanup --orphans'
on my fairly well-maintained F7 system and got:
[root@medulla0 ~]# package-cleanup --orphans

(Yes, I keep more than two kernels around.)
Which of these is problematic? I'd be interested to know what
`package-cleanup --orphans' is checking for?
The man page gives this description:
DESCRIPTION
package-cleanup is a program for cleaning up the locally-
installed RPMs.
Later in the man page it says something about these packages not
coming from any yum repo. In the list agove, that is only true for a
subset of packages (e.g. AdobeReader_enu and VMwareWorkstation).
