This is arguing about semantics, but probably the difference is that
packages in Fedora really MUST be kept in a state where they can be
rebuilt at any time, and removing the headers breaks that. It doesn't
break existing packages, but as soon as any changes need to be made to
any package that depends on those headers (or just a plain rebuild for
some other change in the distribution, or a mass rebuild), it *is*
equivalent to a removal.
