The implementation of 'soft deps' as you call them is not really for rpm(8) anyway, it's for package managers. If you don't like the way it's been done so far, then make sure whatever package manager you use implements it correctly. If for you that means simply treating suggestions as requires and ignoring enhances (as is more or less the current way of setting package requirements in Fedora), then so be it -- don't complain that the functionality is there for those who want to use it.
