Fedora 21 will likely introduce so called "weak" or "soft" dependencies, also known as recommends and suggests. For proposed change see [1]. What do you think about Java packages adopting usage of weak dependencies? An example: Dependencies declared as optional in POM files could be translated by dependency generators to Recommends instead of Requires. Any thoughts on this?
