But missing those "extra features" is exactly what I call "half broken". I think soft dependencies are a much more admin-friendly way to handle this. Rex Dieter is working on a proposal there: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RexDieter/SoftDependencies It'd also have the advantage of not locking users into the yum/pirut/system-install-packages framework if they wish to use apt-rpm or smart instead. And IMHO even a hard dependency is a better approach than a post-install prompt. Disk space is cheap.
