How often is this a problem of people forgetting the obsoletes ?
( as we would see it on upgrade I guess quite fast, I guess )

If I look at : 
http://check.mageia.org/missing.html

I am not sure that something was forgot. 

For example php-qt4 could have been just dropped upstream, and I do not
know where a Obsoletes should be added. 

However, there is also some weird cases, like tcl/xulrunner , where
there is 2 src in the repository.
