Replying to [comment:11 mattdm]:
My inclination is to say that we should not use these, and instead
suggest that third party repos which offer packages which add to those in
Fedora proper use the "backwards" weak deps, Supplements or Enhances
(which are the partners to Recommends and Suggests, respectively). This
accomplishes the same thing from a user perspective without Fedora needing
to mediate or recommend specific repositories.
I agree with this approach.
