Is there any case to allow Supplements: in the Fedora Collection? It seems to me like this could be problematic. (e.g. I write a plugin for a popular engine and package it, then add Supplements: so that it gets pulled in by default whenever that engine is installed. My plugin then causes things to crash.) I think it is reasonable for us to forbid Supplements: except with FPC exemption. It should be up to the owner of the primary package to decide to add Recommends: instead.
