Hi Zbigniew,
yes, basesystem is there just to ensure installation order and it could probably be achieved by that PR.
There is one more benefit from the retirement - as there are occasionally bug reports (that should be filed against distribution) reported as basesystem issues (similarly to setup package being target for installation issues and filesystem package for issues with the partition layout). Retirement could reduce the confusion for people...
Regards,
Ondrej

Hi,
I was looking at early system installation, and we have filesystem,
basesystem, and setup, all competing for the title of the early
filesystem setup… It seems that basesystem is the easiest to
eliminate: it has no files and no scriptlets.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/filesystem/pull-request/20 adds
Provides+Obsolets: basesystem to filesystem. If that is merged, we can
retire basesystem.
The change is simple, but maybe there's some tricky dependency somewhere,
so I'm putting fedora-devel in CC.
