To put it in perspective, Kalev has helped me get the desktop RHEL 7.1
update through the various RHEL processes, involving quite a few of
these bootstrap dependency issues. He knows more about this kind of
stuff than I do.
Key word being.... "helped" not just do it... I would
like
a chance to at least looking into the dependency issue.
Maybe bootstrapping is the only way, but a bz should
opened to describe the problem and we should be having
this discussion in that bz... IMHO...
I think setting the precedence of allowing non-maintainers
to make any changes they want is not a good direction
for us to go... again... IMHO...
Open up a bz and lets discuss it.

You should if you are a provenpackager, and your job requires you to
have a depsolvable Fedora. Breaking rawhide and then attacking the
person trying to fix it is not cool at all. Respect is a two way
thing.
https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct The rawhide build didn't not break
because of the
dependency issues since this dependency has been
around a long time...
I'm trying to be as respectful and productive as I
possibility can... I truly believe nothing
positive comes out of negativity so I'm trying
to be as positive as I can...
