Please CC maintainers when discussing their package.  We like it because
it avoids us getting blindsided by requirements/changes, and sometimes
we know things about our packages and can be helpful :)

Absolutely we need to engage with maintainers when debating changes. Doing this in isolation would basically mean failure.
 

There are two uses of awk: one at build-time, and one for the triggers.
I assume no one cares that I need awk to build.  You're correct that the
use for the triggers can probably go away since they're aren't any right
now, but... does this actually matter?  Please file a bugzilla if so.

Just because something /can/ go doesn't mean it /should/. 

Yep!
 
A trigger
that doesn't fire won't hurt anything, and its removal is more noise to
filter through.  And there are often other considerations: for instance,
the el8 spec file is branched from the Fedora one - el7 has a
1.15-series krb5.  The upgrade window I have to support is larger than
what's mandated by Fedora - and that's fine!  It's not causing any
problems for other things, so it doesn't matter to anyone but me.

Thanks,
