I understand the inherent difficulty in determining if a package is a manually installed third-party package or obsolete as discussed earlier in this thread. One additional detection the tool might want to do in the future if and when it gets included in a release again is to check if the package is currently being used or vital to the system. The attached screenshots shows it suggesting that I remove my currently running kernel.
