Yes, I am aware of obsolete cycles and yes, they are a problem. But they are
a problem for yum and all other updating tools. For rpm the situation is
quite clear:
pkgs that are obsoleted by to be installed pkgs are silently removed. So the
circle - and the obsoleting pkg - are gone. Yum on the other side should
avoid that the two packages are exchanged on every "yum update" call
(package ping pong). But this is unrelated to be proposed behavior change as
it can only happen when there is no obsolete circle.
