Hi Honggang,
Your commit b02de521022a ("redhat: Remove base package dependency from all sub-packages")
removes protection from rdma-core when user performs "dnf autoremove".
Before your patch, systemd was dependent on libibverbs and latter
required rdma-core. After your patch, the last link is lost and
rdma-core marked as orphaned package.
Any attempt to install rdma-core as standalone package will have the
following errors, due to the library dependency of udevadm.
[leonro@c rdma-core]$ ldd /sbin/udevadm | grep verbs
libibverbs.so.1 => not found
[leonro@c rdma-core]$ sudo dnf install /tmp/rdma-core/RPMS/x86_64/rdma-core-34.0-1.fc32.x86_64.rpm

I think that the right solution is to make rdma-core meta-package as we
wanted it from the beginning when created rdma-core repo.
Thanks
