Yikes, one more step away from flexibility and towards a proprietary "one
size fits it all" experience!? :-(

You're a developer and you want your users to have a certain set of packages
installed? Then you Require those packages! That's what RPMs are for! (And
yes, this implies that you're supposed to actually PACKAGE your software. Or
at least to let other people package it. People at certain third-party
repositories are willing to package stuff even from binary tarballs, if only
your license lets them! Heck, they even came up with hackish workarounds
such as LPF for when the license DOESN'T let them, but they really shouldn't
have to! But the right approach will always be to get your software INTO
Fedora, with source code and under Fedora-compatible licensing terms.)
