Ah, that's nice. This way users won't have to even know about the
package split.

OK, that explains it. I have been thinking about this dependency already
and suppose it's possible to use tc without the base iproute package.
OTOH I guess nobody really cares. :)

Not sure if this still applies:
| $ repoquery --repoid=psutter-iproute --whatobsoletes iproute
| [...]

| iproute-tc-0:4.5.0-3.fc25.x86_64

This all looks sane to me. The spec-file for 4.5.0-3 contains:
| Obsoletes: %{name}%{?_isa} < 4.5.0-3
for both iproute and iproute-tc. Panu?!
Thanks, Phil
