Well, it has to do things like talk over the web, so it's going to
need some RPC libraries of some type. I think it is, however, obvious
that the current dependency chain is excessive.
Checking the specfile, I see the python-turboflot dependency came in
with a change which was not changelogged (and did not include a
release bump), so there's no information about why that dep was
added. The next package change was a license tag change, which
included a release bump and a build. It is possible that something
snuck out which was not intentended. I'm sure more will be known
tomorrow when those involved are back from the weekend.
Turboflot should only be necessary for the webapp server end. It is
not necessary for the client or firstboot.
