It has been suggested, discussed and rejected many years ago. Here's
one thread from 2007,

 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2007-March/msg00089.html

and I remember it has been a topic before for early FESCO, but probably
on IRC or the closed list. As one can see, we referred to it with the
term "garbage collection" for packages. That's why I managed to find this
thread, too.

The above thread was sort of neutral. I think the downsides of making it harder to keep some dropped packages is out weighed by making yum upgrades work smoother.
