Or may be this one? https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EMWYUIZL4QQBAPKEVRNYOFKUPWSW3F7G/ Just for the fun, I run the same queries for Rawhide: $ dnf repoquery --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide-source --arch src '*' | wc -l 20946 $ dnf repoquery --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide --source --whatrequires 'libc.so.6*' | sort -u | sed -r 's/(.*)-.*-.*/\1/' | uniq | wc -l 8559 40,86 % of packages is in C/C++.
