The Packaging Guidlines [1] say:

"All package dependencies (build-time or runtime, regular, weak or
otherwise) MUST ALWAYS be satisfiable within the official Fedora
repositories."

So are Suggests: a Weak dependency, or a Hint?

On the Weak dependencies page [2], the table differentiates between
"Weak" and "Hint" dependencies.  Also, the "Weak dependencies" heading
is at the same level as the "Hints" heading. It is not clear if
"Suggests:" is considered a "weak dependency". If "Hints" are also
part of the overall umbrella of "Weak dependencies" perhaps a
different term should be used for the non-Weak type of Weak dependency
to avoid this confusion.
