Nahh, not really. It's mainly due to lack of effort on my part. It's not
just a case of adding a remove-force type parameter in pkcon, as then
it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with pkcon remove-force glib2.
See my other mail for a possible solution.

Well, sure. yum and apt are still there in the background, but teaching
pkcon about advanced stuff the API can do anyway is probably a good
thing. For me personally, I've not touched the yum command line tool in
days, and that used to be a pretty daily occurrence.
