Initiate build requires cleanup for base related packages in Fedora working with maintainers and the community. The goal is to reduce the number of self-hosting packages required for Base from currently over 2000 packages.

Just a few (probably silly ;) ideas which comes to my mind reading about this initiative:

* It might be interesting to have some script, which tries to audit BR, e.g. it removes all BR first and then adds them back as they are required. This could reveal some BR which are actually not needed anymore, but are listed among BR from historic reasons.

* Second level could be to try to limit the BR, although some extended functionality or binding might not be supported. This extended functionality or bindings could be moved out into separate package, although it would require second build run. Looking into Python BR, I believe they could be trimmed down using this approach.
