deborphan lists libraries/packages that have no dependents (to be safely
uninstalled without breaking other packages)
dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures a package at any time after installation
and initial configuration

The yum-utils package (in Extras) contains the package-cleanup program.
When used with the --leaves and possibly the --all option, it will list
(library) RPMs that are not used by other RPMs.
If you want something closer to deborphan, pipe the results through grep
-v and xargs rpm -e.
Most of the Fedora-specific configuration commands begin "system-con",
but the general ethos is that most packages should Just Work.
Hope this helps,
James.
