Agreed. We want to use langpacks with rich depenendecies *more*, e.g. replacing comps with that, and it'd be a big step back if rich deps stopped working as expected. > > 3. do not ignore already broken weak rich deps (partially reverts the > > change) > > This sounds like a possible path forward -- it would probably still be an > improvement over the the Fedora 35 status quo, however the results might be > quite surprising for the users.

I'll just say what you and others said: rpm/dnf has *all* the information about the system, so it should be just a matter of adding plumbing to push that information to the right layer.
