You mean something that has internally known dependencies that
must be met during installation and update?

We are talking about fedora here.  You are the tester.  It is
guaranteed to interoperate only after you stop reporting that
it is broken.

No, it is up to yum and the known dependencies. If the dependencies
are wrong, the testers need to report it or it won't be fixed.
