Maybe I'm the one offbase, but to me this is a significant breakage, I think
this is one more thing  which will just push ISV to only use RHEL and not
Fedora Core for development, maybe this is a good thing from a different 
perspective, but from my viewpoint as an upstream maintainer of widely reused
libraries I consider this a big regression.
