I've seen packages using Requires(hint): and testing shows that currently this is handled no differently from a regular Requires:. I happen to think Requires(hint): is a horrible syntax, because cognation with Requires(pre, post, preun, etc.): implies that some %hint scriptlet will be run at some point, but that's neither here nor there and I suspect that any upstream brain-damage is already a fait accompli. However, there's still the question of what to do with Requires(hint): in Fedora packages. Either we get rid of it or we need to document what it does and what it might do in the future. Strawman proposal: ban use of Requires(hint) in Fedora packages. Comments?
