We have had this discussion several times on this list. The compromise that
was agreed upon is that packages should be added to fedora-obsolete-packages
ONLY if having those packages installed BREAKS something, e.g., prevents
upgrading some other package due to broken dependencies, or causes a file
conflict with some other package. Being retired is by itself NOT a reason to
forcefully remove a package that users may depend on from their systems. So
that is what should be documented, not your personal wishes.
