Indeed, she recommended that the ideal situation is for us to avoid
conditionals where possible and instead use Recommends: for things

since people could trim their installs down to their needs.
Technical problem: No BuildRecommends.
Legal problem:
Currently, "broken recommends" (i.e. recommending stuff that isn't in Fedora) is
forbidden in Fedora for legal reasons:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/914#comment-607130
It is also forbidden to recommend something that used to be in Fedora 31 but got
removed in Fedora 32, from a Fedora 32 package:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/914#comment-607154
As far as I understand this, it means it is also forbidden to recommend a
"Fedora only" package from ELN. Because ELN is a different version than rawhide.
Whether it is allowed to recommend a non-RHEL package from a RHEL package, that
I don't know, but I assume the same logic applies.
