I'll get to tasks, eventually, and let you guys know.
I'll give you my view of sub-packages on this. I think Fedora is making
the mistake to create too many sub-packages and loosing control over what
makes packages useful.
I don't see the point in making a separate vim sub-package, given that the
vim syntax file is pretty small, a sub-package does not offer anything
subtantially, a subpackage increases the chance that someone will not
install it and does not know it exists which is bad for the repository and
the project (in this case vim and/or asciidoc) and most of all, there is
no real downside to shipping the plugin even when vim is not installed.
So my opinion is that these sub-package rules is a form of bureaucratic
autism, where any introduced rules are more important than the case at
hand and defy common sense.
Of course, there are cases where they can make sense.
