Yea, I suspect both could be combined though in a script that gradually

and same filelist at least).

What about BRs which are needed, but the script removes because of
transitive dependencies? IMO, BuildRequires: foo-devel getting you
bar-devel, which is also needed, without listing bar-devel means you now
depend on foo-devel not losing that dependency.

Right, but shouldn't that then lead to the package building fine but the binary packages would miss some requires?

Or am i missing something here?

Thanks & regards, Phil
