------- Additional Comments From sundaram at redhat.com  2008-01-11 02:35 EST -------
Even if packages are used for development, they cannot end with "-devel". It is
called gcc and not gcc-devel for example. Besides they are numerous occasions
where a package that ends with "-devel" is excluded. A few examples

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/8/FinalTreeTesting

"Make sure default install doesn't include -devel packages"

Look at the default kickstart files that are used to generate the GNOME and KDE
live images. They automatically exclude *-devel. In short any package that ends
with -devel is assumed to contain development files (headers et all) and not
development tools in various places throughout Fedora and making an exception
just for this package is unwieldy. You just have to call it something else.
