Is there a place to suggest better dependencies for future builds of

I would suggest bugging your support guys.
For example,
the core group lists authconfig as a mandatory package.
authconfig requires rhpl, a package that contains python code used by
other programs.
Lots of things, including rhn register (IIRC) use rhpl, so that's
reasonable. It also contains some translation code.
rhpl requires wireless-tools.
Not sure why that is, but that seems busted. That being said, there
may be a good reason for it and perhaps someone
with more experience with rhpl can explain why.
It was not this way in RH4. authconfig was part of core, but the RHPL
package was not required by it, nor did the RHPL package require
wireless-tools.
So in essence, every server I install into my datacenter with RH5 is
going to have the wireless-tools package, a completely arbitrary and
unnecessary package, unless I uninstall authconfig, rhpl and
wireless-tools in the %post.
