I can't read the article (livejournal is blocked here). The bottom line as far as our discussion goes, however, is that it is *intentional* that the yum Package provider fails to remove packages on which other installed packages depend, and that there is good technical justification for that design choice. I would be surprised if other Package providers were different in that regard. Your Puppet manifests need to account for that, one way or another.
