Yes, and put a line in the packaging guidelines/review process. I also think having a -static package would be nice where possible. It would be great to have a kind of dependency noted in the packages that use the static libs as well. It could probably be somewhat automated, because said package should probably have a BuildRequire for the static lib anyway. Cheers, Christian
