Note that these Guidelines explicitly only apply to *renaming* and *replacing*existing packages, not the plain removal / retirement of packages. gstreamer1-foo doesn't replace gstreamer-foo, so Obsoleting it is not the correct thing anyway. Arguably, the only reasonable thing would be to add gstreamer-foo to fedora-obsolete-packages, and only if any of the retired packages would cause issues during or after the upgrade to the affected fedora release.
