Just some frustration venting mostly, but Core dev's have a ways to go before "their" packages will ever come close to Extras quality, especially when they ignore good/valid suggestions and the very helpful stuff on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines
So we're moving to something internally that is built around mock, which should have a huge hand in cleaning up a lot of bad packages, wrt BuildReqs and such. We're also talking about pushing forward w/ a packaging guideline that models (or IS) the Extras guidelines. We're working to improve this situation.
