no one is saying this isn't a valid part of rpm. I'm only saying that
using these kind of filedeps has a cost and I'd like to minimize that
cost as much as possible.
While we're on that, I don't have any numbers, but I think we have more of
Obsoletes: and Requires: that can't match any package in any supported Fedora
version (or any Fedora version at all). For example, compat-libgcc-296 has:
Obsoletes: gcc <= 2.96, compat-gcc
of which first hits RHL 7.3 and the second - Fedora 3 at most. I don't think
anyone is going to upgrade their system even from Fedora 3 (we're at 9), not to
mention 6-year-old RHL.
We are discussing these types of Obsoletes/Requires on "merge reviews" of
those packages (although I am not sure if someone has already begun to review gcc
merge review)
