The background for these changes is twofold: We want to reduce minimal

towards alternative implementations (based on OpenSSL for libcrypt, and
based on libtirpc for nss_nis).

Bodhi has zero support for Reccomends and Suggests, we can not push out
updates with them. The use of Rich dependencies is not allowed.   See [1] for
more details

From what I can see, glibc.spec doesn't contain any rich dependencies
(i.e. booleans) in Requires: or Recommends:. Do you have a specific
issue with current glibc package?

My suspicion at this point is that the past FPC/Fesco guidelines wee wrong, and the present tooling restriction is not just about rich/Boolean dependencies, but also about weak dependencies.

Zero support for weak dependencies would actually be okay, sort of. The problem is that something treats the Recommends: as a Requires:, like yum does (bug 1360781).
