on program B being present, it does not mean that there are not uses for
B other than program A. meld is a good example that is very useful on
its own. Why should yum remove it when A is removed.
Either you misunderstood what Krishna said or I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. Krishna is saying that if A depends on B being present, and you remove B, then A will also be removed (since B is no longer present). If you remove A, B will remain since nothing it depends on is being removed.
