I would have expected the removal operation to uninstall all of the same dependencies.

It isn't recursive, or --remove-leaves would uninstall everything.

So say you have "A requires B, C which requires D", on install for "install A" you get "install for deps. B, C, D". But on uninstall you only get rid of "B, C".

 In F12 we have history, so you can do "yum history undo" and it'll get rid of everything.
