The criterion so far has been: "All packages must install without 
errors" => Broken deps are not permitted.

Sad, but apparent, Fedora has attracted people, who don't bring along a 
sufficient amount of understanding packaging to take this kind of rule 
for granted, but need "regulations and laws" for everything :(


Proposal: Let's add a sentence similar to what I wrote above as the 1st
