I'm more concerned about sites rebuilding on their own, not our own packagers,
especially since adjustments to our build system don't help people that don't
use our build system.
But maybe I'm just being too paranoid within Fedora space...
People, developers and packagers make reasonable assumptions based on
years of experience with perl: core modules will always be available
where perl is installed, for one. We're breaking that here, by
imposing our own classification of "core devel" vs "core", and having
to do a lot of tap-dancing very late in the release cycle to even deal
with it in a passable fashion entirely inside our own buildsystem.
(Not to mention a user's system.)
It's not paranoia you're feeling here :)
