Yes, except that there are other packages that may need it, not just the functionality, but package wise. The dependency tree can be complicated and removing it can root out a large chunk of the existing packages. May be rpm is easier as I sort of read that it doesn't have an as complex package system as say debian so may be individual rpm can be removed at will.
