Fedora, KDE and Printing Package Policy Stinks

I have a binary print server that requires LPRng, however
the folks at KDE and/or Fedora Developing have made it so 
that CUPS is required to be installed to install KDE base. 
This policy is short sighted and this forcing the adoption 
of a print server system is anti-Open Source and choice. 
I hope that this policy by Fedora Development and/or KDE 
will stop now. 
 The Fedora development team do not have to support LPRng
but the way that they have forced CUPS down the throats of 
Fedora users is absolutely wrong.
