I honestly fail to understand why this isn't the default.
Yum has improved _definitely_a_lot_, it works much better on mirrors
(and in the past it used to fail horribly and constantly due to mirror
misbehaviour).
But IMHO it places a lot of decisions on the enduser, failing in a scary
way when bad things happen.
osboletes can be what you set if you want.
just set obsoletes=1 in the [main] section of your yum.conf
however obsoletes should not be the default b/c of circular obsoletes.
ie:
foo obsoletes bar
baz osboletes foo
bar obsoletes baz
and if you don't think that happens, look around, it definitely does.
