Firstly, as I understand upgrade isn't supposed to remove packages by
default, unless they are obsoleted or conflict with something. Are you
saying that JDKs should be treated exceptionally by package management
systems?
I should add that user can easily remove packages which were installed
as dependencies, but which are no longer needed by running "yum
autoremove" command.
