Comment (by 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.
