Well, currently PFECAT implies UniqueFactorizationDomain.
However, it makes sense to weaken this requiremet, probably
to IntegralDomain.  Such weakening is needed to properly
propagate PFECAT trough type towers (currently it does
not propagate trough algebraic extensions).  After generalization
there will be no duplication.

Also, this duplication is only at source level, category
inheritance works in such way that we get a single signature
in the binary representation.  Given that 'gcdPolynomial'
is part of PFECAT I think that current duplication
is appropriate.
