So we are to just assume everyone will be running a stock Fedora
system then?  In my opinion I think it is better to provide the
information if it is accurate and available as it is with pear
packages.

I don't have the powerz to decide these things but if we must take a
vote on this issue then I will go with whatever the packaging comitte
decides.
