Satish, 
  you're correct this is what I'd like to do. Upgrade is, right now,
just updates with obsoletes calculated first. I'd like to remove upgrade
as a command and just let obsoletes be a switch to yum.

then if someone ALWAYS wants obsoletes calculated they could just do:
obsoletes=1 in their yum.conf and move along. However, at this time It's
not done that way - but I wanted to mark upgrade as deprecated so people
know it will eventually go away. But it won't go away in the 2.0.X
branch. I'm not going to change features dramatically mid-season. :)
