Yes but: - it's up to packagers to point the package is not supported anymore (as it is not on mirrors) - the obsolete should be in the package that replace the previous one (the word 'replace' is important) - it is really a bad practice to choose for users what is good or not. Moreover there is a really bad effect: updating a system can cause to a package to removed because task-obsolete is installed. I am in favor to drop this package.
