When I bootstrapped Fedora for ARM way back when, I had to deal with
these dependencies.  A lot.  Finding a minimal set of RPMs to
cross-compile to get a bootable core was very difficult because of
dependencies, and managing the path up to koji was a nightmare.  Even
after that, there were some packages that couldn't be built *at all*
because of circuilar dependencies or dependencies on them.

So, to all of you who say "oh well" to dependencies... I hate you.

Seriously.  Not only have you made my personal job miserable for a
while, but you demonstrate the worst traits of engineering.  If
there's a problem, you don't hide it or just "let it be because we're
used to it."  You *fix* it.  And you make sure it *stays* fixed.  Take
some pride in your work!  Do the best you can!  If you're only willing
to do mediocre work and let problems exist because you can't be
bothered to fix them, then Fedora will at best be a mediocre product.
