No one has asked for the functionality largely for historical reasons.
Unlike Debian depsolvers, which make heavy use of conflicts to direct an
upgrade including removal of conflicting packages, rpm based depsolvers
typically treat a conflicts as a full stop error, displaying enough information
for a user to manually remove the conflict and restart an upgrade.
The ability to handle both upgrades and erasures in the same transaction is
well supported by rpm libraries, but there is no means within rpm to test
functionality that already is being used by higher level tools.
This RFE supplies some argument markup in order to be able to test/use already
implemented functionality.
