Specifics like that don't belong in the mission statement, but a more
detailed document elsewhere that expands on the mission statement.
Another specific would be fixing RPM's perl dep finder to be smarter by
default. Like never pull in Win32, never parse %doc or example(s) dirs,
etc. That would eliminate the majority of cases where ugly manual
Requires filtering is needed, but not all.
Agreed. I wasn't thinking clearly when making those comments.
