Sorry, I'm not trying to argue.  Was not removed in error, just my standard
practice of keeping BuildRequires lists short.

Regarding the hypothetical you described... I would actually rather see the
builds fail that did not explicitly list python3-setuptools.  For several
reasons.  First, it keeps package maintainers aware of overall dependency
changes (i.e., people building Python packages should probably be generally
aware of the Python packaging practices in effect).  Second, it keeps the
project aware of what is actually still in use by users.  A bunch of build
failures may cause some things to show up as just things we can safely remove. 
Third, it presents package maintainers or other contributors with opportunities
to go and clean things up in spec files from time to time as we continually
revise and refine recommendations.
