The original intention was to at least ensure that you couldn't easily
and accidentally put your system into a state where you couldn't put it
back with the same tools you used to break it. (That is, don't let yum
remove things yum needs to install stuff, basically.)

I think there's use in extending it a *little* beyond that, but I also
don't think we should go overboard.
