It's overly pedantic and ties your main binary package against a list
of specific package names and versions. Makes it more complicated to
move a needed library into a different package without rebuilding your
one as well. Also, the question ought to be "Does it make sense?",
because Gtk+ >= 2.2 and GLib >= 2.2.1 are available for all the Fedora Core
versions you target. Finally, do you want to guarantee that your binaries
really work with any package named gtk2-2.2.1-something even if you
built it for gtk2-2.8.0-something?

There are special cases when an explicit dependency on package names and
versions makes sense in addition to an automatic dependency on SONAMEs.
