Approved:
Third party repos which offer packages which add to those in Fedora proper should 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.
