Hi,

> But you are confusing Requires and BuildRequires here?

No, I am not confusing Requires and BuildRequires, I am talking about Requires 
of -devel packages and reduction of Requires, not BuildRequires.

There is a connection between them because if A buildrequires B and B requires 
C, A effectively buildrequires C and changes to the relation between B and C 
can have an impact on A. But if A buildrequires C and silently relies on B 
satisfying that dependency, this does not look correct to me, it should 
buildrequire C directly.

Reducing BuildRequires is certainly a nice thing, too, especially from a 
distributor's point of view, but I mostly care about Requires because this is 
what makes a user-visible installation large.
