I'm not quite sure why pulling in an additional supplemental dependency would be considered a breaking change. Is it because rpmlint behaves differently with the new license definitions?
Yes. Suppose I am running a Fedora 36 system with rpmlint installed and I use it to validate spec files for RHEL 9. When I install rpmlint-fedora-license-data, a huge bulk of licenses that were not valid when I started to use Fedora 36 and that are not valid for RHEL 9 are suddenly valid.
(I am not saying that we should never backport the dependency ever, I am just explaining why it was not done in the past. If the consensus is that the hard dependency is easier to our users that validate Fedora spec files, and that this level of backwards compatibility is not worth it, that's alright with me.)
