--- Comment #7 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <[email protected]> --- The idea is to provide the information that package A is using code B. Would there be no bundling, this information would be provided by BuildRequires or other dependency. We want to provide a replacement. The purpose is to be able to quickly find code B, not just for security issues. Imagine that next version of gcc exposes a bug in boost::endian. If someone wants to go over all packages using boost::endian and recompile them with some patch, this Provides makes their life easier because they can identify relevant packages with one or two dnf queries. In case you cannot identify a specific version, don't include the version. There's a lot of packages which do that.
