As for how many dependencies this would eliminate, running some quick queries

7.3% of all dependencies (9246/126066). This is inaccurate (no versions in
dependencies taken into account etc) but I think it should be the correct
order of magnitude.
Actually much of the benefit would be gained by just having createrepo
drop self-requires out of the metadata. That would have an immediate
benefit without requiring rebuilding the world. Of course you'd still be
downloading the dependency bloat in the rpm's themselves but now that yum
uses it's own depsolver doing this one the metadata level would already be
beneficial.
