Well, good summaries sum up what the package contains. They don't just repeat
the name of a program (or expand its acronym). Insiders already know what Qt
is, what it stands for and that this "build suite" is not specific to building
Qt itself. They will know how to find this or that this is likely named "qbs".
Let's make summaries more helpful for everyone in displayed search results. A
developer searching for a build system or build framework will be thankful.

As pointed out, the %summary would not be a blocker. It's just that we've come
a long long way from many packages with poor summaries, so that's why I mention
summaries that could be improved.

If there are strong feelings about it, consider a compromise similar to:

  Summary: The Qt Build Suite is a next-generation build system for projects

Also try:

  yum search build system |grep -i "build system"

They aren't bad examples (and the summary doesn't need to explain what Boost is
or why there is "Ninja" in the package name):

  boost-build.noarch : Cross platform build system for C++ projects
  ninja-build.x86_64 : A small build system with a focus on speed
  ocaml-omake.x86_64 : Build system with automated dependency analysis
  php-pear-phing.noarch : A project build system based on Apache Ant
  remake.x86_64 : Build system that bridges the gap between make and redo

| waf.noarch : A Python-based build system

better: Build system written in Python

| gradle.noarch : Groovy based build system

better: Build system written in Groovy
