Hi,
rpm 4.12, which include soft dependencies landed in F21.
First of all, we would need to have a list of precise, detailed
definitions of these "soft dependencies" to build up an opinion.
For now the status is: Soft deps are strictly prohibited.
Are there plan to reflect this in our current Packaging Guidelines? Or
we will wait till this feature will be recognized by dnf, PackageKit and
others?
Well, technically, all back and front ends must treat them identically
otherwise Fedora will "end up in smoke".
