I disagree with this suggest: it is not because the packager want to drop the package from the distribution the package must be drop from all computer around the world. Moreover we take the risk to match a completelly unrelated package (git is one the notable example, before being a VCS it was a set tools). For me obsolete should be reserved for replacements or rename, nothing more. BTW: I don't understand the need of versionned obsolete (why the <= cauldron version).
