I am not too happy about yet another dependency. As someone involved in
building containers, I constantly have to battle the growth of
everything and now with rpm gaining an unavoidable dependency on
libsdc++ means that every rpm based container will now grow another
2.5MB in size.
That's assuming libstdc++ isn't there already. Software written in c++
isn't exactly rare.
I know that there are good reasons for doing this, but please consider
the trade-offs too. There's only so much that we as release engineers
can do to fight the entropic growth of software.
I can tell you it was considered. That ship sailed a year ago already.
