Fedora 22 dnf autoremove removes wanted packages


I want to uninstall dependencies I no longer need, so
Code:
$ dnf --refresh autoremove
should solve that. But on doing so
autoremove wants to remove programs I'm still using.
Code:
[thanquol@Base-Camp ~]$ sudo dnf --refresh autoremove

Transaction Summary
==================================================================================
Remove  7 Packages

Installed size: 14 M
Is this ok [y/N]: n
Operation aborted.
Is autoremove reliable? Can I mark packages for autoremove not to uninstall them?
For instance wireshark-gnome and exaile I know and want to keep. The others I don't know
but seem to be important like portaudio or libvirt-daemon-config-network.

Some packages may have been renamed or there are newer versions installed. Autoremove should be considered a hint list....

I'll take it as a hint list but nothing more. The packages autoremove wants to delete are the latest installed packages. I don't think autoremove is reliable. However thanks for reply
