Yes, but that's exactly the point that I was trying to make: the
same is true for explicit obsoletes, so it does not make much sense
to treat them differently.
IMHO it should either be both look at the provides or neither, for
consistency reasons. But I also agree that just disabling the
provides for the implicit obsoletes solves most of the problems.

Cheers,
  Michael.
