"yum install yum-plugin-protectbase" adn core-packages like yum/rpm/kernel are
no longer removed by accident - but that does and *can not* reslove what you 
want

there is no if and but
if a package has a dependency than it has one - period

there are no soft-depencencies and any hack allow you to remove
a pakcage which is required by another one and ignore this
requirement is pretty dumb
