it's definitely fixed in SP1 but IIRC SLES10 was not affected too.

the problem that autoyast can not remove packages that are required by a 
pattern still exists. There was a bug that no package could be removed at 
all and that bug is fixed but that does not guarantee that you can remove 
each and every package now.

RPM dependency is one thing but there are also patterns that require 
packages.

you can remove packages but not all.
