Seems like you may have not considered the translations angle, so let me spin it another way...

If I adjusted where translations are packaged (put with -libs), so that the base 'exiv2' package was < 1mb (~200k uncompressed), would we still be having this conversation?

1) I am sure I never had any need to use the exiv2 executable and I would be surprised if majority of Fedora users had different experience
2) I don't understand what else then space saving and e.g. optimization of install media should be the reason for the split.
But given that the split as well as the recommends are correct, then I'll probably ask to remove the `exiv2` from the install media via kickstart or whatever is the right way to customize the install media content.

I don't see any good reason to change here. Mostly because the status quo is already a compromise to leave the base package as an optional Recommends (ie, removable).
This is considering that most of the space in question here are translations, that strictly-speaking, probably ought to be included in the -libs package anyway. if those files were moved, the space saving for the base package would be negligible.
