So thinking more about this, I guess we should only add the explicit
requires to the kernel package for F31 (and F30) and add it to comps
for F32+, this way F30 / F31 users will get the package through
the requires (and keep it on upgrade to F32+) and fresh F32 installs
will also get it this way.
And this way we do not have to live forever with a Requires which
will
cause issues for efforts to make minimal installs as small as
possible.
I think if we use Recommends dnf will install it by default, but it's
not a dependency error if it's not installed[0].
