Soooo, rather than assuming malice, since the change isn't noted, I'd
guess that somehow the recommends got inadvertently reverted as part of
the rebase.

What I wrote does not base on any assumption or guess.
And not malice but more likely IMO just plain (not intentional) mistake.
Why? Because:
a) To handle all Fedora repos dnf does not need depend on deltarpm. Fedora does not provide delta files at all. Nothing here changed recently. In't it?
b) There is no anywhere single word of comment about why weak dependency has been suddenly replaced by fixed one. This recent change is kind of rollback of the Feb change:

* Thu Feb 08 2018 Igor Gnatenko <ignatenko@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2.7.5-7
- Demote deltarpm to weak dependencies

IMO it would be even better if during dnf code rewrite to other language like C/C++ (which start has been announced some time ago) handle of deltarpm files would be possible over kind of optional loadable module leaving dnf core code as small as it is only possible.
